I'm going to glue up number 3 this weekend for Karl V in Michigan.  He was the one who hounded me to start this project.  He did some research for me and was an inspiration.  We wanted the bow to have the look of the 1959 era 56" Kodiak but with my limb design.  I have never held a 1959 56" Kodiak as there are not many around and the ones that are are guarded closely.  When I hold this bow it has a very simplistic feel to it that takes me back about 60 years.  I am playing with bow number 1 right now.  I made that with bear brown glass on the back, Carmel colored glass on the belly.  Bolivian Rosewood riser wth birds eye maple sight window.  I couldn't resist duplicating Fred's color scheme for the first one.  I'll try to get a picture posted soon.  
Thanks for the nice words.

Chad, your work gets better every time I see it! Keep up the good work! A pass around bow might help you in making those final tweaks ... hint, hint! Lol
