NOMADIC PIRATE:
Gordon, it would be a great in justice if you wheren't to compete for any future BOM's, you're raising the bar as of late, and I belive many bowyers will agree with me that you're bows are making us try just a little harder ;)
please keep them coming you're an inspiration
Gordon:
Justin, snakeskins and paint job notwithstanding, much of what gives a bow eye appeal are the same things that make it perform well. With bows, form and function are intertwined - that's why I love building and looking at them.
Mamba, it was nothing you said. Manny, I'm going to take a break for a while and focus on exploring new woods, techniques, designs, and artistic forms. But I will be back - with a vengeance!
Pat B:
Gordon, You are a good sport. ;) I'm looking forward to seeing(with a vengeance) your new "stuff" when you are ready to show it again.
So as not to put Don(OldBow) to too much extra trouble, if anyone doesn't want their bows considered for BOM, just insert "NOT FOR BOM"or "NO BOM" in with your title when you post pics of your bows. That way Don will know from the beginning to eliminate your bow for consideration. We still wanna see those bows even though you don't want them in BOM.
And! Everyone that builds wood bow, be you seasoned or green, should post pics of your bows if possible. We are here to help the "green" bowyers with any problems and cut the seasoned guys to ribbons! ;D Thats what this site is all about. The sharing of experiences and information. Pat
Badger:
Gordon, I couldn't agree more that the craftsmanship being incorporated into a finished bow is part of it's beauty, for that matter I admire the eye candy as well, just not for me personally. Most of us are in this sport with slightly different objectives, sometimes our objectives may even change. I have often felt that performance related threads were squashed a little prematurely and this has limited greatly my particapation in many of the general primitive archery forums. I have seen many guys like yourself who as they reach a higher level of skill tend to just fade away, others stay around but become quieter. I like to see the old timers show off their stuff, and even if they hold back a few tricks here and there, which is rare. The new commers enthusiasm is often a great equalizer to the old timers experience. Makes for a classic dual! Steve
Gordon:
Thank you Pat - I promise not to disappoint.
Well said Badger, but don't worry - I'm not going out quietly ;)
