Very nice work :)
-
Beautiful bow. Is the channel through the handle from the pith?
Mark
-
Thank you. Yes, elderberries always have a fairly large pith canel.
-
Nice work :)
Del

:BB 8) :OK
-
That must have been a fat piece to end up with flat limbs on the belly. In my area it grows as a small bush.Nice bow.
-
Another great one Victor. Very cool work
-
Del, Pat B, Santanasaur thanks)
bassman I made it from an elderberry trunk about 6-7 centimeters thick.
I live in Ukraine, here they grow to a much larger size.
-
Beautiful bow, that tiller is spot on...
-
That would be Black Elder then would it? Black berries? The elder hear has red berries and I don't think it's as good.
-
Beautiful bow! I love the channel through the handle and the tiller is really well done. Thanks for sharing.
-
Awesome Bow. :OK
-
Very good execution on that bow. Looks great.
-
Very creative! Tiller is great.
-
beautiful, congrats,, :)
-
Thanks for the feedback)
DC, yes, it's a black elderberry (Latin name Sambúcus nígra)
-
Good job, unique character!
-
This is such a beautiful bow and I really think it embodies the meaning of the word "primitive". I can imagine someone thousands of years ago using the same bow. Well done!
