Very nice bend indeed, Jawgey poo.

I like how you use the stave without much tweeking. Been doing more of that myself and I really like the process more. Thanks for posting this one Jawge!

Sweet bend jawge, whenever I see you have posted a bow that's the first link I check out. Nice to see one from a PA legend😉

Thanks, JonW. I try to keep the heat corrections to a minimum. I like looking at the character bows. Thanks, Crazyhorse. Thanks, bubby. Thanks, Simson. I still enjoy making bows after all these years.
