Danny,
That is a beautiful bow made using Bill's favorite wood -- zebrawood. The figure in the riser and the cathedral cut grain in the limb veneers are outstanding. It looks like zebrawood is your favorite too. That wenge is an especially nice looking piece of wood and is perfect with the zebrawood. I have 7 Quests, 2 Non-Typicals, and a Peerless, all of which Bill Howland designed and built, and another 8 of Jim Brackenbury's original designs. Bill Howland is the most meticulous bowyer I know, and the bows he designed and built shoot as well as or better than any other bow I have ever shot. Quiet, smooth, accurate -- it just doesn't get any better. There are other bows I own that I prefer for some purposes, but for shooting excellence and being the closest to construction perfection, Bill's bows take the prize. I didn't think a bow, even a Brackenbury, could get any better than the Quest and Non-Typical, but the Peerless lives up to its name in my books. I know you like Quests better, and I can understand why for some folks they would be. What's not to love about them? That's why I have 7. You got one of the best looking Quests I have seen, and I'm sure it shoots as good as it looks. Congratulations on finally getting it after a VERY long wait. Getting a bow from Bill these days is like winning the lottery. My Peerless took two and a half years from the time I ordered it until the time it was delivered. But it was worth waiting for.
We have to get together after missing each other repeatedly over the last year. And Donald needs to be there too!
Take care,
Allan
