Pretty bows??

(1/9) > >>

Dano:
During the little to do over the BOM (which I think ended without a fix), I kept hearing comments about "the pretty bows". I like a well crafted bow as much as the next guy. I like how the bowyer paid attention to the details, ain't that what craftsmenship is all about? A well crafted bow can be "pretty" but I think that is all a part of building a fine bow. Primitive archery, does not give us an excuss to skip the details. Forget all the bow catigories, lets just have three levels of BOM beginner, intermediate, and expert. Lets have levels that allow the bowyer to grow, instead of feeling intimidated. Just my 2 cents. Lock this down if it gets boring too.

radius:
nothing primitive here, we're using the INTERNET to discuss archery equipment made with BANDSAWS and BELTSANDERS...

DanaM:
Dano thats not a bad idea except how do we class the bowyers skill level ???

Kegan:
I like it the way it is now. Gives somehting for us beginners to aspire for :).

And I agree, pretty bows show that the attention to detail is there. Form follows function, so the function's there then ;).

Justin Snyder:
Pretty is as pretty does.  O:) Justin
