WOW, this has already exceeded my expectations and it hasn't even been 24 hours! I sure appreciate all of your creativity and enthusiasm! I can see that it isn't going to be easy and I might have to build more than one bow if I find a couple of different winners (spread the wealth, eh?) I've gotten more than a few good laughs also. For those of you wondering, the woods in the handle are figured Bubinga and snakewood, with purpleheart, satinwood and bloodwood accent strips. The carbon is cut to butt to the veneer on the back of the limb. I'd have to concur, Ed is winning if it were sheer enthusiasm we were judging on. I can see I'm going to go through a ream of paper when I print this out to pick out the names. Carry on...you're only making my job harder!
