GW,

Definitely an interesting looking bow you got there.

Is your upper limb shorter than your lower limb?
Or is it just an optical illusion?

I like the looks of it over all, Snakey.
But I'm no expert on the tillering process for a straight limbed bow much less a bow this snakey...   :)

Very cool bow, Kristof. You have the eye of an artist with your tallent as an bowyer.
Well done....and a bow like that should be shot and not hung on the wall.  ;)

Now that's one super cool bow! I'm with Pat, shoot the heck out of it! It shouldn't be confined to the wall, looks like a meat maker to me.

These bows are growing on me.  One day . . . when I have a real job. . . I'd like to trade one of my tri lams for one o those.
