Wow goobersan can't wait to see it come together

[Goose Gossett]

Looks great and the picture is perfect!  Maybe I'll get the opportunity to shoot the outcome of that nice looking wood if it shows up on my doorstep!

Man! What beautiful bows! You guys aren't foolin' around. Very nice work. I'm another who's behind. I'll get started soon but I'm gonna hafta work awful hard.

[D]

Heck no I'm not gonna wash my hands.  Most likely I'll be scratching my butt moments before I get ahold of it.  So ************** just think when that tube arrives to your house and you get that beauty out and wrap your hands around that nice grip just remember that I had my butt infested hand all over it...lololol  Oh I'm just kidding.  I'll actually make sure my hands are clean and clear.

I hate to see that bamboo pop like that.  Had it happen over and over and over. I've never had anything in bow building make me as mad as bamboo does, especially when it lifts a splinter.  I spiked a bow on the floor like a football last year cause it lifted a splinter.  I swear though it looks so stinking GOOD when it works out.

D dont forget your latex gloves and scrubs

Man some sweet bows. I will be looking for the mailman on monday for sure.

Dmax any of those I would proudly own but that first take down call to me a bit more then the others.

Sorry to see the lifted splinter, can you take the boo off and put another piece on so you don't lose the whole bow?

[Al Dean]

Looks great, nice woods.

[Trux Turning]

Another nice bow!! Great job.

[talkingcabbage]

Bigbob, I don't think that's bland at all.  There's something to be said about simplicity with pretty wood.  Sometimes my favorite bows are those that don't have a lot for accents and such, just simple lines with nicely grained wood.

Course, those accents can be really purdy too!
