Joe,
   I am very happy for you, what a nice find. Your photo layout as usual is spectacular. Keep the pristine photos for your files and hunt the hell out of that baby. That is what they are made for. tom massaro

Gorgeous is an understatement.

Dave's work is outstanding, and he pulled out all the stops when building that one.

Welcome to the Schafer brotherhood.

You need to put that head on a arrow and take that Schafer out and shot something.
Nice bow.
Welcome to the Schafer family.

Joe,

It's a gorgeous bow.  But, I'm probably going to approach it from a different perspective than most.  The elm veneers are the most beautiful veneers, elm or otherwise, I've seen on any bow.  The Cocobolo riser is nice, but for me it's window dressing for the gorgeous burl elm veneers.  WOW!!!!

I also love the bear claw elk antler knobs.  Or are they limb bolts?

Bill
