    I love those bows.

    A few "how I make them" pictures would be very appreciated (by me!)

    Default Great work, no let down

    I love that bow, superb carving. The rest of the box is pretty spiffy too.

    I thought they were taking the micky out of you with all these comments on the bow till I read your first post which said it was made out of huon.

    A closer look at your other picture revealed it was in deed timber and not just any bow.

    All in all a great present
