I'm all thumbs most of the time!
 A guy I work with has wanted a nice bow for a long time,tried to get him to come over and I'd help him put one together,but it just never happened. So, his wife contacted me and asked if I'd build one for him. I don't sell bows usually, just parts,but I agreed to this one.

The riser,zebra and wenge with a padauk and actionboo canine.

At least you can read your writing. Usually get my wife to sign mine
What did you use to write the spec's with?

Kenny, This is a beautiful bow. Your wood colors and accent strips really set it off and compliment each other. Very nice!     Pat
