That's some real interesting character in that bow.

It finished up well and has a good primitive look for sure.

Nice job on that bow.

Thanks george,cipriano,and gmc :)


Thanks Bill...hope he can make a bow out of it,and id like to see it if he does. I think mine was the worser of the two,but you know that kind of wood is my forte and I like a challenge some of the times.

That's awesome that your mom appreciates what you've done.  You are a skilled craftsman.  Your workshop is pretty incredible as well.  Now I feel bad for just getting my mom some kitchen utensils.   :-[
