Look what I found on my porch today...

 

Unfortunately I didn't have much time, but I just had to take a peek on that bow. And what can I say, that thing ist just gorgeous. Soy you did a fantastic job.

The lams are awesome...

 

... and the riser. I'm speechless...

 

Thank you very much Soy for that beauty. The weather should be ok this weekend, so I can go out and test it. If it shoots as good as it looks ( and I'm sure it will... ), it will be great.

Josh,  you are the master of awesome looking veneers! That zebra wood last year was killer, are these bows off the same form?

One lovely bow received and on that is just wow. About to be done. I think I would prefer the quilted maple my self but I might not ever see an animal, because I would just be staring at it.

Kind forgot I was still due a bow in this year's swap so was a little surprised when the mailman told me he had a bow for me.I did have a bit of a secret wish for a 3 piece as i don't own one until now.Out cam beautiful little bow with black walnut and wild Pecan riser all harvested from David's land which makes it more special anyway, and limbs of hackberry. It is very quiet and really puts an arrow out there. In fact I kept shooting a little high at first.I am delighted with this bow and express my gratitude to David Flanrey, for all the great work , the cost of shipping and even providing limb socks and bow stringer. Last year it was soy's terrific 'snake' bow and this year David's marvelous takedown. Thank you.
