My wife went out dancing tonight, and the dog's no good with a camera. Pics of me shooting it might be slow in coming!

Sleek .... My man! You are a boss of selfbows. How you looked at that scrap of firewood and said "I'm puttin' a string on that and bending it in front of my head" is beyond me, but you did and it came out stellar.

Chadwick, you lucky dog! I gotta say though, if my wife's going out dancing, new bow or not, Im going too and I'm getting my salsa on! But hey, to each his own. Maybe that's why my wife doesn't like dancing much ...

Man  buddy that thing turned out amazing!  If I remember right we did trade roughed out staves.

Sleek ain't kidding when he says that Untamed shoots and feels that good in the hand! I loved shooting this bow! And to watch sleek turn that thing into a bow with his kabar was sure a sight to see! Untamed is exactly that, absolutely no heat corrections were used in the making of this bow. I know because I watched him take it from a roughed out stave room a shooting bow in a few hours! It ended up a bit different than the plan I had in my head for it. But it was definitely in the right hands with sleek! And now hopefully Chadwicks will put some meat on the table with it! Your a lucky dog Chad! Patrick

You picked the perfect name for that gnarly piece of wood.  Really nice work tillering that beast.

Nice looking bend on that bow. And a fitting name also. I would love to see you and watch you when you become a monster with your kaabar and get a bow shooting in no time. Congrats to both of you a fine looking bow.

I've shot this thing a few times and was stunned that it was as well mannered and 'tame' in the hand as it was despite the knarly look of it and the name it bares.  Shoots smoothly and has a snappy release to it.  I more than half expected the wildly swooped about limbs to give it timing issues like crazy and shock in the hand, but I was singularly impressed with how perfectly gentle it felt to shoot this bow.

Wow Eric,  that was almost poetic. Like, an ode to it.
 Ode to thee oh beautiful bent stick. 
Natural and untamed,
Builded so perfectly to hunt with.

A lions roar never so frightful
As an arrow cast to game
To the archer so delightful

Upon your back adorn nautures glory
Builded by hands skill
Its feet per second, over 140.

Bend back oh beautiful thing!
And your sometimes friend do part
An arrow shalt though fling!
Into a woeful games heart!


Haha.... leave me alone, I entertain myself.
