Nice work Greg. Cool bow design and great designs in the finish work. Very visually balanced, primitive and well designed and executed bows you make.

Such a nice visual tone that bow strikes at the very first glance, full draw looks great to my eyes too.

Beautiful bow, brother.
Nothing wrong with tiller, all profiles just fine. A bow from you can be found out of hundreds, your style is consequent. I like your finish work, stain and painting - top line.

This guy is going to have to change his handle on the forum. Nothing bad about the bend of his bows!

Thanks everyone for the kind words, all you guys in the PA community are just to nice.
Now I wish we would get out of the deep freeze here so I could get out and shoot this bow a little more, this
frostbite weather stinks. :)

I hear you buddy, it's been super cold here for a week or so. Only one day above freezing and most days in the single digits to the teens. But when all the snow and ice melt then we will have the mud! Patrick
