Got a little done last night after work (stave prep 6 different ones) but I'm really having a hard time figuring out what to build........  My thoughts before I got my name were to build with a wood that was not available to my victim and maybe in a style that he hadn't tried???? I was glad at first to find out he was prolific as far as posting but Geeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzz maybe to much so, and all over the place!!!!

Excuse me got to go take a chill pill :(

Come on man think, think!!!!!!

some possibles........




Everyone loves a good yew bow ;)

I completely agree, it would be interesting to send a wood they might not have access to or a style they might not have tried. Osage and Yew are super hard to find in my area. But then again I know personally I would be happy to recieve just about anything so long as it is a good shooter.

Lots of good starts and finishes  :o  Way to work JonW!

I am pretty excited about building one for my particular recipient.  I know exactly the style of bow they like but no one stave has jumped out yet.  Gonna have to think on it a bit longer.

the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso
