very nicely done, sir. Really like that you kept the "look" and "feel" of the originals. I'm curious as to her draw weight.....anyway, very nice bow right there.

Real nice! I like that back profile and the lumpy character in the wood looks great on that style of bow, good looking stain and finish work as well Bowman.

Thank you guys. I appreciate your comments and in deep respect I like your thoughts about the Bom contest. I'm not a subscriber of the primitive archer magazine. Maybe I should subscribe. The bow is one of my favourite style bows. I've seen the original two times i Copenhagen.
