Cameroo the silk was glued on with Titebond Liquid hide glue. Thanks

Thanks Baily
You've always got a kind word Jawge,
Thanks Gordon and John.

Gordon I've been scraping a piece of VM recently and thinking of some of your bows.  Its amazing how much tougher VM is than plum.
Thanks John..

Always wanted to try some plum. Don't think I will do that nice of a job though. Beauty of a bow man. good job.

Thanks everyone.  I'm driving down to the fly shop to give her away in about 20 minutes.  Time to whittle the next stave.

Got my eye on a piece of VM thats been sitting on the pile, daring me to give it a go for a year.

Wow!  That turned out really nice.  I would be Plum excited to make such a plum-tastic work of art.   8) Tiller is really good too.   Bookmarked for Feb. BOM contest as well.  :)

alot of nice points to that bow. you did yourself proud on that for sure.
if your not dead you are getting older so get out and shoot some arrows.
