Very nice Holmie Bernie. We'll make a bowyer out of you yet!   You have been cranking out quite a few bows lately. All very well done!!!    Pat

That's being very kind, Capt - not sure if it's expertise though - probably more like luck - and a lot of help from my friends - LOL.

Thank you, Chuck, and bless you - good to hear from you. Thank you also, Kenny - we Marines live for our "Outstanding" marks on our "Fitness Reports". (They probably don't call them that anymore - LOL)

She's beautiful, Bernie! Of course, Hannah and her sisters come from a good family.  :D

Thank you so much, Killie (I love it).

Sure, Dano, half-sisters (like "It" and "Ol HB") and step-sisters (like "Sneaky Snake" and "Hula Girl") among others - you know. I guess you could call them "single" but they stick pretty close to their Pop/Step-Pop. I guess you'd call them all "Daddy's Girls". Come to think of it, it's getting to be a pretty big (happy) family - don't know where I'm gonna hang my BBI I'm working on now. Gotta put up another rack, I guess.   :archer:

LOL - I have another of those accordian type hat/coat racks that I use for bow racks stashed away (from another yard sale) - but I don't have another door to put it on in that room. Rose has taken to watching me like a hawk, everytime I start walking around the house with any tool in my hand, eyeballing the walls  ( :goldtooth:

Way to go Bernie! That is a swell bow and you nursed it out of that stick with a fine touch. Make room for the Bowyer Medal on your dress uniform.
