Thank you Greg, hes not really into archery so im hoping this will give him the sickness. :D

ionicmuffin, i know youve been waiting for me to to post this for a few weeks now. im glad you like it, thank you for the compliment

Hunter, i used 6 coats of Tru-Oil, and lightly used steel wool on the 3rd and 5th coat.

Thanks Sharp, cant wait to see your salt cedar bow :D

Thank you Dave, he wanted something that would blend in well and these colors seemed to flow together well.

dmenzies1950, i really appreciate the very kind compliment but an expert bowmaker iam not lol just a kid in his basement :D 8)

Thank you Pat B, im getting antzie about that peach bow of yours.

Coaster500, he hasnt seen the bow yet, but all of our mutual friends have. told him about it, he keeps texting me wondering when he can come and pick it up, its rather cruel  8)

Randman, good ol'viney never seems to disappoint.

JonW, thank you. It stays full width, then tapers the last 12''.

Blackchicken, usually dont have time to snap pictures before a bow flies out the door to some happy camper, work, school, not a whole lot of time to work on bows for myself :( oh you Osage guys kill me ;) 8) if i draw your name in the Christmas trade, ill send you something that screams PNW pride. dont worry i dont take anything too serious :D

Thank you Pappy

Thank you Donald, it shoots pretty smooth, feels nice. my father in law stared at it for a solid 15 mins.

Thanks Dwardo, the look on his face is going to be worth it.

Thank you Eric, i love the way the bark in broken up.

Thanks Brian, :)

Danny, i too love this bow, little bit of my soul is in everyone that get carved, glad you like it.

Thank you Zion, im glad i have enough to put on a few more bows.

ive never seen a VM bow with cherry bark backing so i thought i would do it.
thank you all for the kind words and compliments. thank you for looking.

Keep making and giving away bows like this and you will lose that Pinecone nickname.  Pinecones aren't that nice!

She's a beaut'!

JW, thank you for the compliment. If that's all I gotta to, shoot! I'll do my best;)

John, thank you. We do have a wide variety up here. Where you located?

Thanks Keenan! I've really enjoyed looking at the bows on your website. One of these days I'll invest in the stavemaster. Very useful looking tool.

Thank you Soy:D I'm glad you like it!
