Walt makes a nice bow and this is a good example. :thumbsup:
beautiful bow that is some fine craftmanship
What a looker!
Great job Walt. Wish it was 10 to 15 pounds lighter. Your tips are fabulous. Jeff Massie would be proud. :clapper:
That is a looker. Little heavy but such a beautiful bow. I know that name but can't see a face to go with it. Both my wife and I remember a Walt Francis from the archery club in CA. That was back in the 90's. Now that's going to be on my mind for a while.
:notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
Walt has been posting here since we started....back on 2003.
He's helped with the St. Jude Auction here for years.
Terry, maybe that's the connection. I did know a couple of gentlemen who made self bows in our club. They would travel over CA. looking for materials like mountain Juniper.
Someone is gonna get a great selfbow. I'm really lucky to have two yew bows that Walt crafted. They are my favorite bows and I hope to someday to craft a bow as smooth as these are.
