Those are two sweet bows.  I wish I knew crepe myrtle was good bow wood 5 years ago.  I helped someone cut and burn a bunch.

Man Ken, you sure know how to make Christmas last!.

I got a call yesterday while here at work and my wife said there was a long package waiting for me.
Caedmon and I love them! I was out in my t-shirt in 20* weather minutes after opening them and boy does mine shoot dead on! I think I love this crepe myrtle. and I am going to try to get some pictures up of the figure in these. It looks like fiddle back maple but maybe prettier. I have Thursday off and Caedmon made me promise to go shoot with him. I guess I could find time;)
Thanks again Ken
Mark
