Your right Jeff, there have been a bunch of sweet bows posted this month and yours is another one. Kinda makes me wonder how many are going on Santa's sleigh? It seems Santa's nice list could be kinda long.

Yeah BJ, I'll bet there'll be no shortage of bows on that sleigh of his. What better time of year to give the gift of shootin'!

Thanks all for the nice comments. This one is 15oz according to my old baby scale. I really love mulberry and cherry bark goes with it pretty good.  :)

Very good looking bow.  Always want to do a bark backed bow.  You may just have pushed me over the edge.

Much appreciated gentlemen.  :)

Parnell, it's a doug fir shaft I made with a bandsaw jig, sandpaper and a heatgun. It's got a store-bought field point glued into a hole I drilled and wrapped w/ sinew, and the fletching is turkey feathers.  (SH)

Still getting the hang of this arrow thing. It's an art all to itself.

Great looking bow!  You'll get the arrow thing after a while!
