Hello, again folks.
Last week i have made lots of bows. My best friend and hunting/fishing buddy died only 41 years old last friday. My way to handle the loss, is go to work and make bows. 12 longbows and 60 arrows for customer. All from Norwegian ash, with grip of elk skin and B-50 string.

   

And i have made a bow for my wife. 30#@26" R/D longbow? My try too design from scratch. Norwegian maple back, and American Walnut belly. Its not finish, but here is a few pics.. For tip overlays i think buffalo or walnut.
 
 
   

..and i have made a bow too my selfe. Belive it or not:) Norwegian ash and walnut, buffalo tips. 75#@28" I will post fulldrawpics later.
 
   

And.. (I have work alot last days)starting a new TD recurve. Riser from walnut with maple "stripes". From this bow i will post more pics later.

Nice work Frode, sorry for your loss.

Frode,

I too am sorry for your loss.  The bows are beautiful and I understand the healing power of working with wood.

Sorry to hear of your loss,time will heal the pain to some extent.

Right now,stayin busy will help.

Nice work on the bows!

Very nice bows. You have been very busy. Concentrating on that many bows will definitely clear your mind. Now, a bit of your friend is in each of the bows and arrows.
 Will you post pics of your arrows too?  Thanks

Nice! That Norwegian ash must be tough stuff to handle that draw weight

Sorry for your loss, great looking bows.

Thank you guys.
PatB: I sold the arrows before pics was taken. But i will remember next time.
BenBow: Norwegian ash is very god bow wood. I have made lot of bows from american ash, and that is not the same. I guess the norwegian ash is similar too Am. Hickory.

Sorry to hear about your friend also. You've sure been busy building some great looking bows and arrows.

Sorry to hear of such a great loss. I can see you are very skilled. Your bows are very nice.

Very nice bows-super workmanship! Condolences on your loss Moen.

Sorry to hear about your friend.
Lovely bows, nice to see i'm not the only one this side of the pond using ash! Long way till I get mine looking like that though!

Sorry to hear about your friend,keeping busy is the best way to kill the pain,Great bows.
