Your bows always impress and inspire. A good bower makes a good bow, a master makes a work of art. I would place you in the later of the two categories, sir.

One question if I may:   Did you chase a ring for the back? It's hard to even see any sign that that was board once.
I have nothing but scorn for all weird ideas other than my own.

I had same question Simson. That back looks great from pictures on my phone.

This bow is not backed! So chasing a ring is essential - and yes I did.
Now it is no difference to a selfbow from a stave or sapling. I should have mentioned that, sorry!

I have bought some BL boards from a cabinet maker, he used them for making stairs and had some leftovers. I could buy for cheap.


That's one we will see in the PA mag. Great job as always!!

I see no traffic at the BOM board ...
... last BOM was February/March



Thanks again for your nice comments!

I thought it looked like you chased a ring Simson. I'm not sure what's happening with BOM. I entered "this isn't big Al" months ago haven't seen anything except a email that only 2 bows entered wanting more bows. Please enter this one it deserves it.

I was thinking the same thing. Doesn't look like any board I've ever seen.

Simson, absolutely beautiful work, as always. I'm sure it shoots wonderfully.
