St. Judes Shrew
« on: July 23, 2008, 09:47:00 AM »
Thanks to Mel Riley for such a wonderful bid. We did our best to create a bow worthy of Mel's generosity.

Super Shrew Deluxe with curly birch veneers.  Ebony riser.  58" long, and 54#@28".  BowBolt takedown system.

Silver inlay of 4-leaf clover was inlayed and engraved by Roy Stroh.     :thumbsup:

The   Shamrock Shrew for Irish. Is that appropriate or what. Thank you Mel    :clapper:

Outstanding! I get more and more impressed by the Shrew with each one I see. (I say that while counting my loose change to try to calculate when I can get one of my own)
