Those old mountain men would have been green with envy after seeing your outfit. I'd  love to see the smoke pole hawk and blade that goes with it all.

Nice rig for some old buckskinner.
Most don't make bows and should like that one.
They do live by some rules though.Sometimes more strict than self bow making.Absolutely no plastic....ha ha.
That's a pretty clean outfit your wearing.

Thank you for the compliment, Kidder.

Thank you medicinewheel.

Thank you for your nice words Bjrogg.

Thank you dreamcraft, I'm glad you like the bow.

Thank you PD, I feel the same about you.

Thank you WhistlingBadger.

I think the bow will likely get some attention at my next rendezvous, thank you for the compliment Selfbowman.

TRiggs, I'll try to get a photo with a hawk and knife to complete the photoshoot.

Thanks bradsmith.

You have a good eye BowEd. The coat is not entirely period correct, but it makes for a good photo which was my primary objective. Thank you for your kind words.

Thank you Stixnstones.

Thanks Will, I'm pleased you like looking at them.

Thanks DC, now that I am retired, I have more time to build them - or that's the idea anyway.

There are some unbelievable bowyers on this site...

...but I really think I am most fond of Gordon’s bows. They just look perfect - sweet-looking lines, perfect balance, gorgeous tiller.

Thank you for the nice compliment, Dave!

What a nice compliment Timmy. But I have to say that my skills have been shaped by years of following the many excellent bowyers on this site.

Thank you Glis, I am pleased that you like the bow and the photos!
