Well I took a look and thought you guys might get a kick out of this. It's all the hickory bows I've made from a single tree I cut a few years ago and also the osage bows I've made at MOJam on the right.

ryoon4690,

Tell us about the 3rd in from the right. I assume you crafted it that way...
How does it shoot. I dont mean FPS but how is it in the hand.
Ive been thinking bout trying something like that, most likely hickory.

sharpend60, In this particular case I would have liked a little more depth in the handle but it's still quite comfortable. I think it feels very natural.

Good looking bunch of bows you guys are staying busy, I have given most of mine away but I need to gather up the ones that have been given to me and get a picture, they are scattered all over the shop and Cabin. :) :)Might even dust and straighten up a bit while I have them out. ;) ;D ;D

That hickory tree did not die in vain ryoon, you made some really nice looking bows from it, great work.

All I have at the moment is an osage selfbow and a yew selfbow, all the others have found happy homes with friends, family and neighbors. :)

This page just makes me want to try harder. Don't know if the wife will like that. I've only made one bow so far (red oak) but I had fun and it shoots good. Maybe one day I can make some that is worthy to post.

Some of mine.  Some old some new, (none borrowed or blue).  Go to bow right now is the Hackberry in the middle.  Lite, fast and sweet.  Perfectly straight unbraced profile after many many arrows.
