I'm on Dave's list, can't wait to hear from him. Burt

Dave sent me some more pictures including this close up of the riser showing the reinforcement strip he uses between the laminations - it is a strip of yew that he got from Earl Ulrich's widow many years ago. Based on the date on the wood (1960) and the growth rings he reckons that tree began life about the time of the Civil War! Some neat history:

I love that little knot above the shelf....looks like an extra eye for getting on target

Dave sent me an email telling me he had been in the backyard "playing" with my bow. Looks to me like his "play" is pretty serious:

Really looking good, Alan!

That's going to be a beauty when it's done! Good luck with it.

Well Dave tells me he's done with the tillering and has started putting some finish on...

Can't wait to see finished.....looks neat so far!!

That's looking sharp, nice wood.

David Mitchell · « **Reply #29 on:** May 11, 2013, 03:27:00 PM »

Alan, that is really tantalizing! Too bad it won't be in your hands by Baltimore next Friday (or will it?)! I would love to check it out, even if you do shoot on the wrong side of the bow.

AlanF · « **Reply #30 on:** May 11, 2013, 07:42:00 PM »

Dave, I'll be pleasantly surprised if arrives in time - but here's hoping!

There is no doubt that at times I shoot like I'm using the wrong side of the bow...

musicalguns · « **Reply #31 on:** May 12, 2013, 03:51:00 PM »

Saw your note about next Friday and will do my best to have it in your hands by then.

David Mitchell · « **Reply #32 on:** May 12, 2013, 04:11:00 PM »

Oh, man, is that service or what?

Bud B. · « **Reply #33 on:** May 12, 2013, 05:26:00 PM »

That's Dave.

Love my DJ bow.

Bite the bullet Dave M and if you don't like it you'll probably have a buyer or two ready to pounce.

AlanF · « **Reply #34 on:** May 12, 2013, 07:33:00 PM »

Wow! Thank you Dave. That is more than I could ask.

Take note guys.

Hatrick · « **Reply #35 on:** May 12, 2013, 08:25:00 PM »

Alan and David, If you're going to Baltimore and want to check out a nice DJ I'll be there with mine. If you see some "old guy" with a white belly glass longbow come up and say Hi.

David Mitchell · « **Reply #36 on:** May 12, 2013, 10:48:00 PM »

Hatrick, I'll keep an eye out for you. You don't by chance have a left handed DJ longbow do you? That would be expecting too much I know.

AlanF · « **Reply #37 on:** May 13, 2013, 03:56:00 PM »

Thank you Hatrick. I'll be on the look-out for you.

dakota tim · « **Reply #38 on:** May 14, 2013, 12:39:00 PM »

Alan-

Looks great! Thanks for sharing.

Now I really can't wait to get mine!

bsv · « **Reply #39 on:** May 14, 2013, 02:20:00 PM »

LOL Burt
