I like how you got those nice clean lines even with all the character. I'm starting to see your unique style come out in your bows and I really like it.

That is a sweet bow Weylin.  Beautiful bend on that thing.  Those pictures don't do it justice.

Did you make it up to Sylvan to shoot yesterday?  Did you shoot that bow?

Stickman, Thank you. Dont be scared of some character, just take it extra slow and trust your fingers as much r more than your eyes.

Thanks, Zion. It didn't seem that gnarly when I started but I definitely had to be careful as I went along.

Thank you, rsp3 and Badly Bent

Thank you, Don. I like the ebony for everything right now because that's all I have.  ;) Luckily it looks pretty good with most things.

Thank you for the kind words, Keenan, Cody, SlimBob and Kip.

Thanks, Gordon. I don't know about a style, I just kinda cringe make a bunch of sawdust and hope it will shoot when I'm done.

Thanks, Dave and Pappy.

Carson, I did make it to shoot with Steve and Bryce. It was fun. I broke 2 arrows and lost another so I'm down to 3. I really need to rustle up some feathers here soon. :-\ I didn't shoot the osage bow because I didn't want to scuff it up before I hand it off.  O:)

NICE...Weylin!! How'd you like that yella wood? You did it proud!!
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.
