Glad to see it arrived O.K.!! Also glad to put a face with the bow, but am just a little confused about what name you go by.

Been seeing your handle up there for a while and assumed you were related but didn't make the connection till now.

Shoot it well young friend and get some pictures of something dead with it.

Nice work, Charlie.  I just love black glass.  Is the riser wood osage?  Looks like light colored osage.  Chad

Mr. Lamb,  from all of the Surtees clan -- thank you -- it is a beautiful bow.  I hope I don't confuse this even more, but there are 3 generations of us on Trad Gang.  I am the Grandfather to young Chris in the pic.  His dad (who is my son -- also named Chris) won the auction last year, and he had the bow made for young Chris.  But Dad will have to wait to see the bow first-hand since he is serving in Iraq.

Charlie, Another Beauty!!!  Couldn't have gone to a better family.  I can't wait to see a picture of all three generations back together on the shooting line.  Enjoy young Chris  :D  Doc

"I can't wait to see a picture of all three generations back together on the shooting line. Enjoy young Chris  Doc"

Amen to that, Doc, that will be a great day. Congrats on a great bow from a maker with a true hunter's heart. The bow is indeed a treasure, and I hope it brings you and your family much joy, Chris.

Thanks Larry! Now I have it sorted out.

Now let's get my name sorted out... it's Charlie. And that's what all three generations should call me.

Very cool Chris!  That is one beautiful bow - treasure the time you will carry it and the places it will take you.

I think I was one of the last bidders to drop out of that auction.  As much as I wanted to be the winning bidder on that bow I'm sure glad to see it ended up in your hands.  :clapper:
