That's a beauty, eh?  I love the look of those long fades too.  The whole package is beautiful in it's simplicity.

Another masterpiece Simson!

Beautiful bow. I like the extra long fades and the inlay. How wide is it at the fades and tips?

Is that the natural color of swamp oak?  It looks beautiful, as does the elm, your tiller, braced profile, front profile handle/fade transition, everything about it.  Love it.

Yes Carson, this is the natural colour. The wood fell in the swamp long time ago and got the colour and the smell of peat

Very nice work.  I like the classic, simple, yet well-executed design, tiller, and finish of this bow.

Nice bow! Nicely tillered. I really like the arrow pass... unique in shape and material. Tip overlays look great too. Well done, all around!

The grain on Elm sure looks mighty close to Maple, texture and density. I have to get meee some of that Elm.
