Very nice,  and fast for a light bow. I done an Osage bow that is 34lbs and sinew backed. My first bow and not nearly as fast but nice to shoot. Patrick

Missouri, where all the best wood is! Well maybe not the straightest!

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

That's a beautiful bow. How did you seal the back?

Sweet bow!  Looks great!  Nice work!
Talking trees. What do trees have to talk about, hmm... except the consistency of squirrel droppings?
