I love this design, or lack of design,, just one bending piece of wood,, here is the handle or really no handle,, and side profile holding pretty good,,

   maybe the word style would fit, I like that style bow they are good shooters and fun to make.

Very nice!
I like messing with the messed uup staves for some reason but now have more clean wood to use. Character is great but hoping to make some bows I would feel 100% on if I gave them to someone to use.
Eric K-I do have a bunch of those twisty but clean billets to use also so it's good to know they are tameable.

Oh yeah I like hat one! For me bowmaking is all about having fun and this is just that! Working on a leftover half rotten split of mulberry which most people ould have burned myself now

ok shot it out at 26 inches today,, 46#@26  165fps with 468 grain arrow,,fast flight string  61 1/2 nock to nock,,
it has some string follow,, I was careful,, but it took some set,,should have gone for 35 or 40 I guess,,
I did no heat treating,, I feel like it turned out nice considering I wasnt expecting a bow,,
I might experiment with a light heat treating,, but it shoots nice so I may just go with as is,,it was a fun one,,
will post some pics when I get a handle on it,,

I'm glad you saved that one before the bugs eat it all should send a note of thanks to the supplier

Nice work Brad.I always like your bows even though I don't make the same kind very often.It's good to show what is just setting around taking space can turn into an excellent bow yet.Satisfying experience.I've got a bunch of knarly staves myself I should look into.Too busy about hunting yet though but I'll get to them.

yes sometimes I am not in thre mood to work on the challenging one,, but sometimes its fun, ,I would rather deer hunt too,,
