Nice bow Simon. Apple, cherry, you should call that one fruit salad.  All it needs is a peach pit arrow shelf.

Aaron thanks for reminding me to sign the bow and for your naming suggestion. Fruit salad is the right name for her, hope you don't mind the Italian way Tutti Frutti.

I wonder what the speed of that is. Do you have a chrono?

From time to time I have access to a chrony, don't posess a own. Will do when possible!

Seems so simple, but with all the twist and knots, it would be very challenging.  Incredible work

To be honest, I thought it was a challenge. Good go good or not ....


THANKS A LOT GENTLEMEN

Another absolute stunner. Very impressive specs and no surprise, it is gorgeous. I love the colors showing in the wood in the Tutti Fruiti picture.
Always good to see a heavy bow demonstrating that grain can run out in some woods.

If you are somewhat tech savvy I could post how to do it with an audio recording and audacity?

That wood is beautiful, Simon! Do you think you might have problems with the heavy draw weight and those lateral stars and lines coming out of the knots?

And,,,you ever think about coming over for the Tenn. Classic? ::)

Just beautiful Simson. Such a nice bend and weight with all those knots and run off. Challenging yes I would think so. I've been eyeing up a branch on my dad's apple tree I'm sure gets in his way for mowing lawn that looks like it might have a bow in it.

Another great looking bow. I've been on the lookout for a good apple stave for years.

I've never heard of a bow made with Apple before. Definitely a nice surprise for me! I'm really liking the handle as it compliments the color of the wood beautifully! As usual, awesome work Simon!
