That's on the downside; other than that it's a nice bow!

Post by: Matthias Wiltschko on November 03, 2009, 10:18:09 am: Hi!

Great, that you like my bow!

@Pat B
Yeah, I heard that a lot, but when she starts to split logs, she gets prettier (and more sweaty) every time the axe hits.

@rattlesnake
I am working on one with about 50#. COming soon I hope.

@Parnell
You can say, this type of clothing was common in the 11th to 13th century. Check this out -> www.nobilessilvaenorticae.at
This is our Medieval association and means "The Noble of the Northern Woods".

@Cromm
VERY HAPPY!

@Oldbow
Thx. Austria and Western Montana look the same, as I always say, "De Wöd is a Dorf" ->THE WORLD IS A VILLAGE!
I am wondering if you have the same trees there as we do. NO OSAGE >:( but a little bit of pretty good Yew :)
Do yu have a pic of your country? I am eager to see it.

@mullet
Yeah, I know, tried to shave her teeth last weekend, -> She bit right through the shaver.

@all
Thank you!

Matthias

Your work is magnificent! A true testament to the German talent for perfection and beauty! Like you, I too craft Bows and many other things. I have made it a point in my life to tell others with talents such as yours that your work does not go unappreciated. You have a talent and an eye for beauty and function. In my opinion when you marry both of those qualities, the work reflected is second to none.

Thank you for the link and thank you for sharing.

God Bless,

Nightmyth
