Acker, I really enjoyed your pictures of the bow; but I've got to admit I was more blown away by the pictures of the trees by the stream and the pictures of your bow looking out into a snow covered  yard.  You should turn these pictures into Christmas cards or something similar.  Beautiful work, bows and pictures!!

Interesting way to set up a tiller tree. I like the finish, the red really adds a nice contrast.Good looking bow.

I'd really like to make an Hawthorne bow, there's alot of it around here, indeed. with an s/g of almost twice as high it should give some nice performance!
BUT
they're crooked as hell ;) I should search better for it... but for now I got wood for +- 50bows, almost 20hazel staves, 4-5bbi staves, 4-5 bb bulletwood staves, and over 20ash and sycamoore staves...
...and still looking for black locust, elm, planning to cut elderberry...

these 50bows will take half a year at least... :)


well, goodluck with that hawthorne one! looks promising! but don't forget; keep those outerlimbs narrow :)

Thanks !
Nick, the Elderberry is allready finished, as well as the Prunus  but the Prunus doesn´t like quick drying its to dense and a very heavy wood.
I will post some pics of the other bows later .

Ups, sorry got mixed up with the english wood names ....the unfinished bow is Elderberry and not Hawthorn .
Sorry!

Nice bow. I like that finish, too-good blend of primal and sophisticated.

ELDERBERRY LOOKS GOOD, BE CAREFUL WITH THIS WOOD. wORD IS CONSUMPTION OF ANY OF THE JUICE FROM CAMBIUM IS TOXIC.
DON'T KNOW IF IT SEEPS THROUGH PORES OR NOT. JUST A HEADS UP YOU MAY NOT EVEN NEED IT .
