Title: Shrew Spiritwood
Post by: Ron LaClair on November 13, 2013, 12:28:00 PM
We just finished this Classic Hunter. The limb core is bamboo but the outside veneers are birch burl. When I first looked at it I begin to see figures in the wood. Mountainmen, owls, horses, mountain lions, all kinds of figures appeared. It's as if the wood is alive. Spirits in the wood?       :bigsmyl:

I have never seen veneers quite like that!

Spiritwood and Spiritwood Lake are the names of towns close to us.

That's as pretty as any I've seen.  Congrats on another heirloom. P.S. check your email Ron, I sent you one a while back with a question.  Hope you got it.

Ron that is a beautiful bow.

Now as far as seeing all those things in the wood...have you been smoking your "Grits" in a pipe?...lol J/K

BTW: I have managed to acquire for myself a "Shrew Hill" which is one of my treasures.

Thanks for sharing!!

God bless,Mudd

PS: Just to be safe, please know that J/K means "Just Kidding"....lol

I handed this bow to Ron the other day and he said "oh wow, that's sharp looking. HEY look at the wolfman"
I am thinking "what do them boys get into up at ShrewHaven?" Then he showed me. By gosh I could see it as well. Then a wolf, then an Owl, then......
