Very nice, I'd not seen the side nocks before. I am a big fan. A really pretty, clean bow.

Thanks guys.  I am working on an osage bow right now with side nocks. It really gives you another option for adjusting string alignment. 

asharrow, I was thinking about building my own driftboat and thought that would be a big project....now my dirftboat plans look pretty easy.  That is a nice boat!

Actually, the sternwheeler hull was no more complicated than a drift boat--except where my ignorance made it so. I sold that boat for about what little I had in it for materials. Moved to Maine and decades later built...a DRIFT boat! Sold it when I moved to Kentucky.

Made bows in Maine and Kentucky,  but not in Oregon.

Where are you in the valley?

I grew up in Jefferson, a couple blocks from my grandparents place on the Santiam.  Have a place now in Salem just a stone throw from the Willamette.

Like that one. Nice and clean. Like the white, light beauty of ash. Nice tiller too. :-)

Thanks Bowman!

And asharrow, yes, those are black locust trees in the background.  My parents neighbors place.  I am working on him, hoping he takes me up on a bow-making class.
