[NOMADIC PIRATE]

Great candidate for June Self Bow of the Month.
Gotta admire those tips.

Manny, you have a gifted eye for how a bow’s lines should look. This bow is an excellent example of that. The way the fades flow effortlessly into the limbs, the suttle arch of the handle swell, the graceful taper of the limbs that end in those diminutive tips and the natural way the limbs flair at the tips. All of this understating the raw power of your weapon. Face it, you’re an artist dude…

[GregB]

Very nice Manny! So as not to repeat...what everyone else said!

Just got my license (paycheck) and I am planning a hunting expedition (going shopping) for some species to mount (on the back of a bow) at my local hunting preserve (walmart).  Snakeskins are cool and all but my eyes are searching for other alternatives that the kids will like on their bows.

[NOMADIC PIRATE]

 Manny, You really are one very talented bowyer. You could not have read that piece of wood any better. Even with the twist and waves you dialed it in and created another beauty. I like the contrast lines along the side, very nice touch and the grain and tips really tie everything together.  Congratulations,    Keenan

Your bows are beautiful Manny.  Great to see you posting some work.

  Nice bow Manny, as always. I've got to hunt down some of that Guava around here. I've found two trees so far. Ones in somebodies front yard and the other is at a house that burned down.

Hope ya stick some hogs with that one too Manny . that is one fine looking weapon - I gotta find some kind of weird wood around here that's great for bows, an ongoing sideline .

[Justin Snyder]
