Great wood combo, too.  One of my favorites.  Cedar makes a great limb.

There will be pictures when the time comes. I have always heard Kent was a good guy. Seems people were wright. We talked for about 45 minutes after business. It was enjoyable, makes me want to go on one of his hunts in Texas.

The weather's still a little too warm to practice all the time, but once it cools down a little more I'll put it through its paces.

I am pleased with the bow it is smooth and quite. I added the mink fur on the string for a little extra help and it looks better with the fur on it. I belive the cedar is already starting to darken some with the little I have had it outside shooting it.It shoots easy for me and my two sons,even my wife liked shooting it. Just a little too heavy for her.

I have a beaver tail that I skinned out , I think I'll try to make a bow grip out of it. I believe it will look good on it or I'll try to make something else out of it.
