Bruce Lee once said, " To me ultimately martial arts means honestly expressing yourself". 
I feel like there is a little bit each bowyer's personality shaved into each bow they create.  To me each bow is a work of art and an expression of it's artist. 
Thanks,

The way inspiration gets handed back and forth between people reminds me of something Del the Cat once said, "You pay my way, I'll pay yours, and we'll both go for free!" Not sure how that works financially, but in the matter of inspiration, ir is not only feasible, but a dang good business plan to boot!

I could not agree more with eveything thats been said. When I first started doing this thing 8yrs ago I was the only one I knew doing it. I have learned huge amounts from the guys on this site. It has given me the courage to try things I only thought about before and a good place to ask questions when I needed guidance. I only hope that something I do here will benefit someone else as much as I have been benefited.
