Title: Introduction, thank you, and some of my work
Post by: organic_archer on September 14, 2020, 10:14:32 am: Hello everyone. I just wanted to jump on and give you all a big THANK YOU. I’ve lurked in the shadows of this forum for many years, and you guys’ works and vast knowledge have been an invaluable resource in my journey.

My name is Correy and I’ve been making unbacked selfbows for going on 8 years. I started with hickory and red oak board bows and moved into staves after about a year of board bows. I was working full time and crafting bows in the evenings for 6 years before starting the company Organic Archery, quitting my job and going full time. I’ve been building full time for nearly two full years now and still use the archives of the forum anytime I’m stuck on a particularly difficult stave or obstacle.

Because of time limitations, I probably won’t become a regular participant in discussions, but had to let you all know that I can’t describe how thankful I am to have access to this community. Wishing you all the best in life and pursuits.

Here’s a little of my work.

Nice work and welcome. Better image quality is easy - use a third party hosting site and link to the pictures there. The tiny pictures allowed on the site are a long running issue and it is best to just sidestep it completely. I use Imgur and have no issues with it.

Post by: scp on October 16, 2020, 12:50:28 am: Wonderful bows. This Sudbury style front profile is IMHO the most natural and elegant way to make wood bows with "primitive" tools.
