The first thing that I noticed about your bows was what a fine tillering job you did on all of them, very impressive and I am very hard to impress when it comes to tillering.

Your tillering is very good.  Nice bows.

Very nice tillering, and I always enjoy seeing bows that are actually drawn a bit! 
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Fine work, I like them all, but my eyes keep going back to the hickory longbow.

Everyone of your bows are spot on with the tillering. Very impressive. Great work.

thank you all so much! so kind, as always :) in case any of you were wondering, this is where i have been all this time:


i was quite pleasantly surprised when she took an interest in bowmaking. in fact, im certain she's caught the bug ;) the stave she's going to town on there is a cherry longbow she's been working on for a while. should be able to post pics of the finished product sometime soon!

She looks like a sweetie Connor. If she keeps up the interest you've definitely got a keeper for sure. Damned if I wish I weren't young again :). Would you want to trade for anything for that little osage handle knife I saw somewhere?
I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.

You have an eye for beauty that's for sure. No wonder your bows come out so well. :)

Great job young man.
All  are very nice.
Really partial to that hick, tiller sweet,  impressed the way you got around that knot in upper limb and kept the arc.
You got the talent.
And one fine young lady there.

Again, great job, and God Bless...
