However I decided to go for Leon’s laburnum 5-curve because it’s such an unique piece :O !!

Post by: jeffp51 on January 14, 2019, 09:54:20 pm: Yup, that five curve was my favorite, easy. I felt obligated to vote for my own bow, but I was surprised that 3 others did too. Congratulations Leaon, that is as beautiful a bow as I have seen on this site. Well done.
