Sweet soy...but when ya gonna stop playing with that "junk" wood and use some "real" wood..ehemm..osage

Man oh man!  Talk about leaving yourself wide open!  There are a lot of easy comebacks for that statement!  Like,"when your good, you don't have to use security blanket Osage to make a good bow"  or maybe " anybody can make a good bow from the best wood,  only the best can make a good bow from any wood" or how about.......  just kidding Chris! . The devil made me say it, sorry.   lol! Josh

That is a beautiful bow with a beautiful tiller! Well done. Jawge

[Badly Bent]

Thats a fine bow Soy. Nicely done in execution and finish, really pleasing to the eye. On a side note I've done half a dozen black walnut
selfbows, unbacked with sapwood left on, no problems with walnut sapwood. Yours is excellent man, well done.

Cool bow. Those skins look good on the wide limbs.

[LivingElemental]

Looking good, man. Very nicely done.

[hammerstone]

that's very impressive.If i may ask , whats the width at the fades and tips? I broke the only walnut bow i ever attempted but have several flawless bw logs drying in the barn and you have inspired me.

Mr hawk ...just waiting for the good stuff to dry and i cant stop with the walnut until I'm satisfied I know how to make a bow with it, this is the first time I've used any that was not the Dead standing...
badly ...it was really cool looking without the backing on it but the new owner wanted skin so I figured why not put the insurance policy on it... it's too bad because it was really fetching without it
doc....dont be spreading rumors that I know what I'm doing... it would be misleading
Hammerstone...2" At the fades tapering to just under half inch at the tips
Thanks all for looking

[Tom Leemans]

Yeah it's too bad walnut isn't quite as resiliant as osage, cuz it sure makes a pretty bow!

[Jodocus]

good looking bow!

[rps3]

That is a good looking bow in every way. I have also made a few lefty's for others, and shooting it in is the hardest part for me.

[Starfire]

Beautiful, Walnut is one of my favorite woods, didn't know it could be use for a bow!

[Zion]

Wow great bow! Makes me want some walnut, that looks real nice!

[soy]

Thanks again  i was looking at the pics and noticed I forgot to put string silencers on it  ... just when you think you're done
