Holy crap, I've never had such a tough time voting.  So many insanely talented bowyers this month. Might as well just spin a wheel to choose one.

What a grouping of great bows and talented bowyers is right Cameroo. You guys made some real beauties this month,

 This is the first time I've made a bow i thought was worthy of entering in BOM, and i think i made a poor choice to enter! What a great bunch bows!

I think the bow i entered should have been left in with the backed bows. That catfish skin is as tough as any deer rawhide i ever used.

Hard to pick just one of 'em.  Hmmm??
Did it.  Narrowed down to my favorite 3 and then selected from there.  All great looking bows!

Congrats Simon.  That bow was insane.  You deserve every bit of that win.  Thanks for the follow along on that one.  You should do more of them.  I always love to see you next bow

WOW!

What a surprise - I'm overwhelmed!

I've got a first place in both categories. And to be honest, I have not expected that lightweight golden chain bow will go to the top. Thank you all for looking and voting. It's a great motivation to go on.
Looking at the bunch of bows this month, I noticed that I had missed a lot of those. Sorry for that, the traffic here on the forum is very speedy - sometimes a way too fast for me old man.
Each ofthose fine crafted bows is a first class bow and deserves a win!

It's great to have this forum and it's great to have the BOM.
Thanks
