I don't shoot longbows but you are making me want one. Great looking bow.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Got Daves bow all finish sanded and ready to spray the clear coat finish on. I think it is going to look pretty good.
