Great work James, unbelievable. Could you crono or flight test just so we could know how far a bow like this could shoot. I only mentioned the crono as I know that out east it is so forested to find a good flight field.     Kenneth

After getting to see the Chinese bow Eddie got this weekend, I can imagine how that must look in person.  To see a bow like this in person is incredibly motivating.  Just amazing.

Another lovely bow.

Quick question: what do you use to varnish/lacquer these short bows to avoid the finish cracking.

regards,

Dylan

James,

That is a beautiful bow!  How do you get that detail work so perfect?  Is there a catalogue of designs you use or do you just wing it?

Wow that sure is a looker and at that weight would make a great hunter. Thanks for sharing these bows you've been making, it's encouraging to see this level of work being done.
