Jawge that bow is character!  WOW for a natural shape it sure looks recurved.  Nice work!

Cheers!

Time, dedication, cuts, tons of broken rock, a wife, and perhaps a few girlfriends are some of what it takes in becoming a skilled flint knapper!!!

Thanks, Russ and Okie. I never thought that stave would make a bow but I'm glad it did. Jawge

 Jawge, There's not much I can add that hasn't been said. It looks like you bent that bow with heat. Remarkable bow and natural shape.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

mullett, I know it does but sometimes the good Lord provides us with good bow wood. Like I said the whole time I was building this bow I just kept saying now way, no way. LOL. Rich, my friend, how are you? Kathy and Brian got sent to Germany else I'd be visiting again. That was a good visit Jon and I had. Thanks again for taking us around. Glad you like the bow. Jawge

That is an inspiring illustration of resourcefulness and passion (for your daughter and bowyering/archery).  Thanks for sharing!

Grits, that is so  nice of you to say that! Thank you. Guess who's coming back for her cousin's wedding this month and guess who is going back with some properly fletched arrows and a B 50 bow string? :) Jawge
