I like them all. They are all favorites as they  have one thing or another that sets them apart.
Here is a photo of extremes though.
An Osage selfbow built by a great friend for me, and a "Techie" Warf built by myself.

A Horne combo & a Selway Li'l shooter. Got plenty of others, all real nice shooters, but none so purdy as these two! As a coinkydink, the Horne is by far & away the nicest/fastest/sweetest/hitting-what-I-look-at-est shooting bow I've ever owned too!

Eric Krewson osage copperhead.Baby.
Winner in my opinion!  :thumbsup:  

I saw a pic of this bow a year or so ago.  Told Eric I wanted one like it.  Blah Blah Blah....he did'nt have any snakey osage......Blah Blah Blah....could'nt easily find copperhead skins long enough for a bow fitting my 29" draw.  I ended up getting a much less snakey osage with western diamondbacks.  It is a beautiful bow and shoots great, but can't hold a candle to Ghost Dogs' bow IMO.  No offense Eric.  I thought this was the best looking bow I had ever seen when I first saw it, I still feel that way.
