Nice job on a Very Challenging stave Simson. I've got one at brace that doesn't have as much snake side to side but that same wonky uneven reflex in the fades. Really messing with my head. I'll get back to it come winter, but I'm sure it'll never look that nice. Once again, very impressive and inspirational. Might be just the kick in the butt I need to finish my challenge bow.

Well done my friend.  (-S

What are you using for finish? It really allows the natural beauty of the grain to come through.

Jeff, I'm using a home brewed solution of beeeswax, dammar, turpentine, karnauba wax,and some other ingredients.
When I do the next mixing I will write down the recipe.

Very cool, "chocolate looking" bow! Where do you get osages in Germany, Simon?

States and Hungary

All others:
Thank you very much guys!

Simson's main purpose in life is to make the rest of us feel inadequate in our bow building skills.  Beautiful work!

Oh that is another looker! Love the dark color with the white pigment. Awesome to see the weird braced shape go to perfect full draw!

62# at 28" looking like that has to be a real zipper. Beautiful too.

Believe me, there is absolutely no offense taken.  I love your work and I steal your ideas as much as I can.  I dream of matching your skill someday when I have more time to hone my skills.  I hope sometime when I am in Germany to come and see your work in person.

Alles Gute

What an amazing example of wood bowyery.  Beautiful in every way.
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Every new bow, you just keep on amazing me. It's a treat to look at these pictures, skillfully photographed as always.
We have some very endowed bowyers in this community, but you keep on moving the benchmark for all of us.
