ugly little hatchet bow

Hi,
No offense, but you got the "ugly" part right. Super looking tiller, however. Only 2 hours? You're a machine!

Yup, it's an ugly little brute . SImple bend through the handle longbows, after I figured out how mine work, have taken over. If the wood doesn't fight me too badly, they only take a few hours of actually working on them .

I like this sort of bow. That's real primitive bow..

Excellent!!!!!!!!!! Way to go Kegan. Man I wish I had some of your talent, then maybe I could build bows.

It's primitive - that's what I like about it!  I'll bet Jamie L does, too.
October Self Bow of the Month is coming up in a week and we'll look at this one again.

Thanks . This bow took me at two hours to make from tree to finish. I'm really keen on these simple D's . The pics don't do it full credit though, the back looks like someone took a tiny router to it !

Oh, and I found some Osage near my school...

there osage by mt school too

Ever time we go past them I see a few straight pieces about 4+ feet long and i start to salivate... not a normal reaction though

[david w.]

I wonder what your friends think.   sound like you could get some good billets

[Kegan]

I can't do any shop projects or take any shop classes... I can't be trusted around wood (bows and arrows) or metal (points) . Trees and plants are the worst

[George Tsoukalas]

keegan, awesome bow. It is not ugly. it is beautiful. In fact, I've  never seen and ugly selfbow. Jawge
PS except for some of my bows.

Kegan, You did an excellent job on this primitive bow.       Pat

It really is a great bow you made! Nothing at all ugly about her.
