Man I hope I draw you for the swap. Ohhhhhh wait I ain't in it this year. If I was I might would have to make 60 plus bows cause I think would draw everyones name some how.

Nice looking bow.

Thanks for the offer ken75 but I am trying my hand at the build myself. I hope to turn a bow out some day. I would love to see a build a long of the I beam.
Plus you will have you hands full with the swap as is.
Happy building and happier hunting,
Kelly

Yep, I tried to talk him into it  . He's slowly coming around. Made some lam arrows too out of black walnut and maple. Talk about contrast. They seem to stay straight too.I have a note book full of trouble, I mean ideas, when I get back home.
Keep posting, always enjoy your work.

Ken that bow is a beauty. I  like those skins on the other side too. Nothing I ever built looks that good.
