I've had some darker bows lately that I like, but the next couple are more toward the lighter side, including a 2 piece Tuktu from Abe this summer.

That bow looks so nice, I'm beginning to question myself !   :D

I did see what Keith was referring to Danny, like you I refer to those as character marks, I was just ribbing Keith a bit on his choice of terms. That buffalo horn looks great by the way.  I don't know how you do it Danny, but you seem to have the nicest collection of bows I am aware of.  How do you select which one to hunt with, and what is next on your list?

LOL, Murray,

It is hard sometimes. Got a macassar Silver Tip recurve with exhibition grade walnut burl limb veneers being built right now with either kudu or eland tips and either kudu or eland up the sight window. And a mountain lion scrimshaw medallion in the sight window. The riser is 14" with the long limbs making a 58" bow.

I haven't heard from Dave or Beth about the Eland horn yet.  They have it.

Got ya.  However, this Tuktu I have is the most accurate bow I have ever shot - I think the static tips adds to performance - but I also think it would just make one pretty bow as well  :)

Honestly Darren, what accounts for greater regret; a rack plumb full of beautiful, great shooting bows like that which Abe produces, or an empty space on the rack and in your heart?

I have not even received mine yet but am already mulling over how I can scrounge a few nickels and set aside a few dimes to pay for the next one.  Thinking a one piece wolverine with flared riser and some burl veneers.  Though, that pass around tuktu was quite fun to shoot, and I really like that swirl face point overlay he is doing on the silver fox now....
