Outstanding work, Bryce! I really like your style. Top notch finishing work, but with the utmost respect for the wood itself. The snakeskin adds a nice touch, without covering the entire limb and thus hiding the beautiful character.
I thought you had osage in Oregon, but didn't need it? Apparently the guy you build this one for thought he needed it!

It's always a pleasure looking at your bows Bryce! Except it's all bumpy and squiggley and has holes in it. Ucky-poo.  ;)

Thanks bowman!

Thanks bubby! The quiver turned out better than I thought it would:)

Lol thanks dark soul, the stave was actually a gift. Along with a few other staves but this one needs to go back it's too nice for my rack of bows:)
Lol my signature, just means we have osage here in Oregon but we just don't need it with the plethora of bow wood we already have:)


Thanks stroker

Thanks Slimbob

Thanks Tracy! I'm sure Steve will use it to snap open some brews:)

Thank you blacky......I think lol!


Thanks willh!

Thanks you mr. Soy

Thanks BB!

Thanks adb, maybe I'll get some more boards lol thanks again appreciate it:)

Well mr. Seabass are you ready to shoot this baby at the classic?

Thanks weylin! I've had the pleasure of picking up bits and pieces from a group of guys here in Oregon. They're all a wee bit off there rockers but a good bunch of fellas:)

Thanks hrhodes.

Thank you Brian!

Right back at yah lost arrow.

Thanks Idaho Matt :) it's one of my faves as well

Thank you trapper rob

Thanks Carson! It's difficult to part with but I know it's going to a good place:) and I've made instructions that it be left to me in his will :D
I dont think I'll bring the quiver, it's a little loud when I walk. Beads banging into each other and stuff.

Now thats got wow factor, I think the hardest part of wood bow building is working out roller coaster as in the one limb .you did well with it.

Post by: Bryce on April 11, 2014, 01:24:10 am

Steve I still gotta ship this baby! The credit machines weren't working at the post office so I couldn't ship today. Maybe tomorrow.
