Post by: Java Man on July 23, 2008, 09:47:00 AM

Thanks to Mel Riley for such a wonderful bid. We did our best to create a bow worthy of Mel's generosity.

Super Shrew Deluxe with curly birch veneers. Ebony riser. 58" long, and 54#@28". BowBolt takedown system.

Silver inlay of 4-leaf clover was inlayed and engraved by Roy Stroh. :thumbsup:

Outstanding! I get more and more impressed by the Shrew with each one I see. (I say that while counting my loose change to try to calculate when I can get one of my own)

Very fine piece of work - I mean art! Great bidding Mel and class act delivery from Ron and Greg and all.

Simply amazing...love the light and dark contrast and with the very generous bid, great deal all the way around.

I think I'm going to be looking very hard at one this January in Kzoo.

I was able to spend a little time with both Ron and Gregg at Compton's this year. They both worked very hard to get me just what I wanted, and made sure I also got what I needed as far as type and materials. Along with advise from JC (thanks Joe), I know I will get a bow that will be very special.

What a great bid Mel, I will happily share a jolt of Johnny Jameson with you next year at Compton ;0)

I know for SURE that Gregg used ALL of his magical bowyer powers to put together a bow worthy of such a cause.

Great job to all!

Cool. I get nervous shipping one of a kind bows around the country. USPS Express Mail took a little less than 24hrs total transit time.

Have fun Mel.
