Wow!  Awesome!

Cool art work as usual Greg. Your good at what you do man.

Thanks again guys, your all too kind.
These bows were some of my earlier ventures in painting/decorating of bows and the designs aren't exactly suited to the style of the bows. Now when I decide to do a more decorative bow I try to more closely match the painted design
to the style of bow somewhat. I still enjoy the decorative part of the craft of bow making as much the rest of it.
It's all fun though and the limits to what one can do to make each bow different are endless and keep the hobby interesting.

It would be to embarrassing to show more of these, real wide tips, whip tillered, and generally way overbuilt and poorly crafted specimens at best. :-   These bows were made before I discovered this website and learned all I now know thanks to you guys on here. :)   I do have another bow I finished yesterday that I may post later today.

Awesome... I look forward to it! You can retiller the other bows. No harm in making them better.  ;)

That kind of work takes imagination a real good eye. You obviously have the talent!
