Way to make a bow bend, sweet tiller and a good looking bow to boot.
-
Nice job. By the looks of that bow I'd say it's getting easier for you.
-
Nicely done!
-
Sweet bow! Tips, grip, and finish are awesome!
-
Nice work, I like the grip
-
I hate hickory, but that's a pretty bow. Well done.
-
Thanks guys, and not just for the kind words.
Everyone say read the Bowyers bible and learn to make a bow..and yes it contains a lot of good info BUT!
The skill to make a bow is more in those little tricks and handgrips and other small things to watch out for.
That is what i have learnt over the time i have been hanging around here...So in short, Thanks for teaching me to make a bow.

That's a beauty! Very nicely done Sir! Unlike Eddie, I loves hickory! Of course that might have something to do with location and climate. Josh

Great looking bow. Nice Work! You tillered that well.
-
Here's a tip: That was not a "board" bow, just a mechanically decrowned stave! >:D
Ain't nothing wrong with that bow, I love it. Your tip overlays are simple and elegant. The grip is an interesting looking material, it would have to be a very solid grip with that texture. Nice, indeed.

"mechanically decrowned stave" Haha,i have to remember that one,fact is i payed extra to get good boards with almost no runoffs so its almost true.
The grip is very solid indeed,and it really hammer home my 540gn arrows .

Unlike "mechanically separated chicken", I will make use of a mechanically decrowned stave.
I should be copywriting some of these terms.

NICE BOW! I love hickory. And to Gun Doc's point I live in AZ where it's very dry most of the time. Hickory is great here. Anyway NICE BOW!
Love the narrow tips. the tiller looks great.
-
Nice Bow, good work. I'm just starting a hickory bow myself.
-
Man, I just keep going back to that full draw pic. That is a sweet bend on that hickory stick. Good work. I am a hickory fan too, in spite of being from the humid deep south. My bows live indoors in the air conditioning so I don't have a complaint with hickory at all.
-
Cool looking bow there. I like the looks of that grip material. Well done.
-
You have made a very nice bow, I love the contrast handle/tips.
The rubber of the handle looks cool btw.
-
Nice bender :)
