Great example of your bowyering  powers. Is bowyering even a word? It should be.

Hollow limb + gullwing + holy = one badass bow

"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

To build a bow out of a stick like that says more about craftsmanship than can be put into words!

I met Li last weekend at the Tennessee Classic. He goes through wood like a beaver on methamphetamines. When I left Sunday at noon I think he was on his 5th bow of the weekend!!! Li, it was really great to meet you...I had to come back and lurk through your posts to refresh my memory of some of those bows that you posted.

Somehow I missed this one! Whoaaaaaaaah! This is unbelievable, brother, just unbelievable!
