Bryce we can all use a little humility from time to time. I really like the style you put in your bows. I may have to locate myself a piece of this Oregonian wood.

Reality checks are the single best learning tool Im thinking Brycey boy. I know I get whacked up side the head here and there and it always makes my next bow just a fuzz better!

I like this one, I like the spec's to. Very slick tiller as well.

Nice looking bow all around.  Your handles are always especially nice.

Pretty sweet man, all your bows are bad ass. Anyway it's motivating, my goal is to one day make great bows too! In the mean time ill just make my little arrowheads and drool over other people's bows !

Your being too hard on yourself Bryce. That bow doesn't look bad at all, looks real nice actually and I bet it shoots pretty fine as well. I know how you feel though cause I am that way and always want the next one I make to be
nicer than the last. :)

Well, I've never seen a "piece of crap" look that gooooood!  I wonder.....do you even know what a piece of crap is? :laugh:  That is an amazing bow you made.  As others have said "As usual!"   Your skill is what pulled that one through man.  Many would have tossed it into the firewood pile.  You should be pleased friend.

Well believe it or not I'm not that hard in myself and have no problem throwing a bow in the burn barrel.
Thanks for the compliments guys! Always nice to have positive feedback.

Here's that pic you wanted Shawn. The bow is 1 5/8th wide. The narrowed ends of the handle are 3/4" maybe a little less.

Nice bow! Always a pleasure looking at your work, young feller! Nothing like a good lumpy selfbow to bring us all back to earth! I've had more than my share. I had one that I worked on and looked at (and cussed at) for more than a year. Broke a tip off bracing it, big deflex in the bottom limb, knots in both limbs, blah, blah, blah... I never thought it would turn out, but it became one of my favourite bows.  8)
