There's a couple or three guys on here that can really "finish" a bow. You're one of them. Just a few little touches that most of us don't even think of. I'm jealous :'( :'(

Thank you, everyone! It's great to share my work with all of you.   :)


   Beautiful bow, your style is becoming very distinctive.

Thanks, Steve. Part of me likes that idea and part of me wants to break out of my comfort zones. I'm finishing up a personal bow that broke some molds for me. I'm excited to share it.

That is an awesome bow! I really love everything about it - the extra work for the paint job definitely paid off (and is starting to become one of your trademarks) and I really dig the beautiful shape of the tip overlays! Great job, Weylin!
Please don’t ‘forget’ to enter this beauty for BOM...  ;)

Thanks, Torsten! I wish I could carve like you. I've been doing the tips on my recurves like that lately because I like having a nice deep groove due to the angle the recurve creates.

Good looking yew bow as always Weylin. Is that yours or for a buyer?

Thank you, Filip. This was a custom bow for someone else. I don't have a 30" draw, as you can see in the picture.  ;D I'm finishing up a personal bow. I'll post it soon.

Another work of art! Beautiful! Do you still see triangles in your sleep? :o Really nice addition to the bow though!

Thanks! Ha, My eyes were fuzzy and my hand was cramped but I recovered.  ;D

Sweet bow man, that 30 inch draw looks great on that bow. What width do you have on the limb?

Great work, I love the triangles, I bet your eyes were seeing double for awhile after that job!

Another beauty. As mentioned, your attention to detail speaks of quality. Outstanding.
