Only thing nicer than the look of that bow is the story that goes with it!

Great story and awesome bow!  I love a bow with history!  Even if it was just made. Josh

Amazing bow and amazing story buddy!  I love the color combo, it just flows nicely!

Building a bow has been the most rewarding, peaceful, and frustrating things I have ever made with my own two hands!

Another "droolworty" bow from you and with a good story on the side!
Nice!

Thanks guys:)

It was really my pleasure to make this bow for such a gentleman as Paul.



Can feel the love and see it in that one Bryce. Very cool man. Tiller itself is a thing of beauty. How wide at the fades/tips?

Very cool bow. I had the privilege to work an old piece of lemonwood with the hickory backed lemonwood ALB that I donated to the Tennessee Classic. I heard the horror stories over the years about lemonwood but found it to be a very nice bow wood. Maybe the long term aging has positive affects on lemonwood.

I watched that build wet closely pat. That's a nice bow to boot


Great story and a stellar bow Bryce, I'd say that piece of lemonwood fell into the right hands at the right time. One look at that beauty and it is obvious that you took a lot of care crafting a bow from his dads piece of history.
Nicely done!

Thank you:) I'm not a big fan of letting ppl down, this bow took me twice as long as any other even though it's a simple design.



Thanks again guys. Really appreciate it:)

She's a beautiful bow Bryce. The owner has to be really happy with that one. Lemonwood is a pleasure to work with, it scraps better than just about any other wood out there.

That's just what I was thinking.

80 years gathering dust waiting for the right hands to work magic. Great job.
