Wingnut, Some Real purrrrrrdy bows there!! :clapper: :clapper: :clapper:
Wingnut you have exceeded expectations regarding my Orion.. I went on a combo squirrel/stump shooting quest this morning in the rain here in Missouri with my Orion. Not many squirrels moving in that weather but every stump in range was in TROUBLE...!!
Thank you for such a beautiful (shedua/osage)great performing bow.. It is fast and whisper quiet. Plus it shoots where I am looking. Could not be more pleased..
That Curly Myrtle bow is an eye catcher!!

Mike as usuall they are sharp. The yew and coco really caught my eye. The only problem is my wife would put my eye out if I look to close. Great job.
I was just thinking a few days ago that I hadn't seen any posts from you lately. Good job Mike & Jason, those are beautiful.
Dennis
real nice bacote.
Awesome bows, hopefully I will get to order me one soon!
FWIW my wife loves her bocote/osage phoenix, I will send some pics when I can talk her in to posing with it;-)
here is a bow we built for a local. He brought us some birdseye maple that his grandfather had cut and asked if we could make him a bow.

Just for clarification, the Bocote bow on top went to Belgium not the Netherlands. Now Fred can stop sweating. LOL

WOW :clapper: :clapper:
Pure eye candy Mike & Jason. Great piece of birdseye in that last one but my favorite is the bamboo under clear class limbs. Keep up the good work!
Wos! They look great and the only one that I've shot also shot great. Mike, you guys do a great job.
