Wow :)
I'm a bit worried that the big pussy cat looks a little poorly  :(
Is he sleeping?

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys:) much appreciated




That georgous set will make someone really very happy!
Wonderful work on the whole set. You said youmade apositive tiller - is she symmetric or asymmetric?

.... and we wanna see more pics ........

Great to have back posting your bows!

Yes asymmetrical. Sure man, what more do you want to see? Let me know soon I gotta box it up tomorrow:)

Thanks for the kind words gentleman.
I have another bow I made not too long ago I'll post in a few days too:)

some detail pics from handle and nocks would be nice and of course a f/d ...... we don't see a plains style with a 30" draw that often!

Here yah go Simson, snapped these before she got boxed up. The nocks Reminds me of the wintu or N.california style pegs and I brought the skins down and around on the sides. No stitching on the handle, I used contact cement to keep the leather from any type of moving around and then just wrapped some calf lace and before I did the leather I added some red serving wrap on each end.

That is beautiful, Bryce. I'm glad to see you are sending it to EJ, that means I'll get to see it in person.

This is AMAZE BALLS Bryce!  I mean 'WOW!' just doesn't cover it.  The snake skins running over and around the nock pins is so very sweet.  Here's hoping he helps control the Virginia deer population effectively!   8)

Ermine is correct.


I appreciate all the great compliments I didn't expect this many to be honest. But it has been awhile since I last posted.

Thanks guys:)
