nice bow and buck Bowjunkie!!

cool grass carp skin, that's neat I'm gonna have to try that. Love the fade osage and nice camo paint job on that one.

[Sam Harper]

Nice bows, Pat!

I really dig the carp skins, John.

I like the dye jobs, bowjunkie.

[Sam Harper]

Here's an English longbow I made out of eastern red cedar.



Here's a replica I made of the bow Galadriel gave to Legolas in Lord of the Rings.  This one is made of hickory.

[Sidmand]

MAN, I wished that hickory stave I have in my garage would dry faster! You guys are artists, I can't wait to try to get a good selfbow out of a stave like you all.  If my first one looks 1/4 as good as the ones that you guys are showing off, I'll be about as happy as a man can be.  Awesome stuff all, makes me want to make a (non-board) selfbow more than ever.

I just wished I could put my hands on some Osage

[swamhuntr]

Mark, I like all of those.  I don't know which one I like best.

[Mark Smeltzer]

Thanks Sam, there's a bunch of really cool ones on here.

[Pat B]

I like them all too. I am constantly amazed at all the incredible wood bows being built today. I'm also amazed how some folks still consider them toys.

[Mark Smeltzer]

Yep not toys by any means. This guy lasted about 20 seconds after a sharp broadhead went through both lungs. I know bears arent the hardest to kill but I've had deer do the same.

[mwosborn]

Some beautiful bows!  You guys amaze me at the fine bows built here.  Here are a couple of my survivors...
