Thanks guys.  Don't make a lot of bows anymore but been wanting to do something with this stave for awhile. 

Got another bow I made last winter that has a story to it, I'll post it some day

Awesome little bow. Doesn’t get any better than that. Good yo know it’s okay to save a stave for 20 years before using it.  ;D

Nice work on that style of bow from a nice piece of osage.

If anyone wants to look at what a well tillered bow looks like. Well you don’t have to look any further. Marc you really have perfected it.

PS  I was think I have a bow I made that looks almost exactly like that. Then I looked at a full draw picture and it’s not bad, but it’s not as good as Marc’s

Thanks guys

Yes quite a few people have disappeared over the years, I suspect for many making bows is just a passing fancy

Just a bit different Steve

I used a shallow D section for the main part of the working limb on this bow

Speaking of people missing. Don’t want to hi jack the thread. Anyone hear from Simson lately?
I had such a strong feeling a few days ago I almost started a thread to see.

Hope he’s doing well.
