Love them ALL!!! Thanks for posting the pics.
Bowmakers are a little bent, but knappers are just plain flaky.

Ain't nothing "plain" about your bows and where the hell have
you been? Don't you know you are an inspiration to all of us
beginners ?

Beautiful bows Rich. I have a couple pics of a 12 year old girl
that carried one of your bows this past season. I will have to
post them. Good to see your stuff again.

you are most correct Mr. Matt....osage does want to get straight in a hurry and it's pretty hard to get it thin enough, that short, for the old guy to wrestle with.

Hey Rich, I'm sorry I haven't posted pictures of that Kiowa bow.  I didn't do it right away, and then got tied up with Dad's heart trouble.  I only took one picture of the bow so far, and it isn't very good, but at least it shows the cool paint job.  It doesn't do justice to the horse hair on that top limb tip.  Laid like it is the hair divides and makes a cool looking heart.  I'll get more pictures later.



This beauty is at my place and will soon be auctioned off to raise money for the local food bank that I donate venison to.  I will be adding 3 arrows with stone points to the bow and beautiful quiver Rich did.  Thanks again Rich.  And those are gorgeous bows you posted.  I also like that last one, but the osage shorty is hard to beat.  Good wood.  :)

Awesome bows. I bet the one with the ears is smooth and fast. I love the paint job on the bow. Insanely perfect tillers all around.  ;D
"The way of heaven is like the bending of a bow-
 the upper part is pressed down,
 the lower part is raised up,
 the part that has too much is reduced,
 the part that has too little is increased."
