I have nothing to compare with the quality of the other bows on here, but what the heck:
here's an ash "english warbow" I made from a board--about 72-73-ish pounds @ 31", it's 75.5 inches nock to nock.

Okay, 3 things are apparent here...1 I need to clean,2 I need better backgrounds for taking pictures,3 I need a better bow rack ;D
 
 

 From left to right We have the ant farm Which is a fence post bow, next is the honeymoon handle which is the wife's bow, and then comes the takedown problem child 2.0,after that is a hickory recurve for the kids , and finally my first bow ever HHB :laugh:
Is this bow making a sickness? or the cure...

It's so nice seeing all the beauties here,
thank you coaster for doing the album!

her is a pic of my arsenal, sorry for the poor quality. It's raining cats and dogs here for days now, I cannot go outside to take a better one.

One of 4 racks, but to be honest only a third or so are really finished ... still something to do.

 :o Simson, how long have you been at this?   1 of 4 racks!?!?!
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso
