There is so much life and magic in that bow. You have to be justifiably proud, Will. Thanks for sharing your creation.

Is that unbacked? I'm pretty new to this and I'm just blown away as well as jealous of the beauty of bows like this. How do you know if it is safe to round off the edges and stray away from the plain rectangular bow design?

Welcome to PA Ole hickory! Yes this bow is unbacked. Im not real sure how to tell you how to know when it's safe to round a bow to this degree. I've built many bows and I'm kind of a "throw caution to the wind" kind of bowyer these days.. Honestly it's probably better to stay more rectangular. The way I've rounded the whole bow to an oval crossection places more stress on the back and the belly. But I like the way they look and haven't had one fail like this yet so there ya go.. :) just lucky I guess.

Will, I really like how your so humble about all of the attention you have gotten from this bow. Your a stand-up guy in my book. Would like to meet you someday. I have shown your bow pics to a lot of people, even some that ain't Bowyer's and the reaction is always the same. Mouth drops open and the word "WOW" comes out! That's truly amazing craftsmanship with a beautiful artistic touch! Congrats again, Patrick

Thanks Patrick :) I don't look at it like I'm getting the attention. It's the wood that's special, I was just lucky enough to come across it. I've been making them for over a decade now still feel like I have ALOT to learn. That's what keeps it interesting for me :) Always something to improve on :)
