Ive got a few. Not all finished though. Some have hung around for years and some have been in the working stage for a while. Around 17 to 20 all together. Enjoy. Sorry if the pics are poor quality. Camera isnt the best and didnt have time to get them outside.

Its quite obvious Gordon is a closet bow porn addict and we are nothing but a bunch of enablers.............You know a guy has it bad when somebody like Gordon isnt satisfied with his own collection. These are some of my more recent faves, all are 48-53#'s @ 28" and vary from 57" ntn to 63" ntn. The gray one is a super sweet tempered hackberry plain jane that holds about 1 1/2" reflex.

Well PD, it takes one to know one  ;D and that's about as sexy of a photo shoot as I've seen in a long time. Those bows of yours have me all hot and bothered  :P

I have no idea how many bows I've built, but I'd guess right now there are 3 that I've kept.  1 that's sentimental from a special hunt, 1 that's my favorite, and the third was my favorite until it got sluggish.  I'm waiting for fall to decide if that's a design flaw or humidity affecting the sinew.  All the rest were given, traded, or in one case, sold.  The minute I'm not shooting a bow much it goes off to a new home.  I have as many trade bows from other people as I do my own as they have special meaning.  If I were to take a picture it would  not be impressive.  There are certainly more bows in process than are in my "collection".

PD..I'm sure I have an extra around here somewhere. I might even spring for a new one!! That's sure a nice collection you got there!


MSpink - My batch looks more like yours. I get 75% through with one, realize I should have done something different, and instead of completing that one, I just start a new one. My son came home the other day and after looking around the shop, he said, "Have you ever finished one?" I guess I need to change my habits, some.


George, I've seen some of your finished work, though.
