Great looking bow, excellent work!  I also have one of Mike's bow blanks, the more you shoot it the better you'll like it.

Matty you did great. I got to shoot this bow a few minutes ago and this thing is awesome and great finish work.

Were the finger groves on the grip something you came up with or something that you had seen on another bow.  I have made a couple of glass bows and I know that there is a lot of time that goes into it to come out with as nice as a bow as you made.  

Ready to go into bow making full time???????????

Knapper: I have seen other bows with finger grooves, never shot one with one though, I have a fairly Unique High wrist that I shoot with and I situated these groves to suit this.  ThI spent a few minutes holding the bow the way I thought I would Like it and then Powdered the riser marked it... then took the dremmel to it One of the markings is a bot gouged but its hard to sand in those little spots, Next time more sand paper LESS Dremmel. Well Like FerretWYO (Randy) Said He got to shoot it and It was the first time I got to see it at full draw it looks good and is quiet to boot.  He did me the huge favor of sharpening my Woodsmans, cuase I'm about to leave to go on a Pig hunt tomorrow about this time..
So It's............. OFF TO TX....With new Bow in hand!  Hopefully I'll have a new topic and Lots of pics Next week this time... Once again thanks for all the cool comments!!

Very cool Matty. Love your finish work, may have to bring you a selfbow or two and have you finish them for me.

Good luck with the pigs in TX.
