Title: Glen St. Charles Bows
Post by: Bear Heart on January 11, 2008, 12:36:00 AM
Does anyone still have one of Glen St. Charles' bows?  The only one I have ever seen is the one on Jay's website.  If you have one please post pics.

Sold and traded 5 of Glenn's bows over the years and do not have one in my own collection right now.....The best one I ever had was a ststic tipped yew wood with whale baleen on the back and belly.Both StCharles declas were mint on that one.........bd

BD, you had a real find in that yew static with the Baleen back, thats a rare combo.  I don't know if I could have let that one go by choice.  Any pictures of it?  Tim

Bowdoc, mine is a one piece with the riser being a heavy piece of wood that looks like rosewood. Maybe Joe will chime in here with more info. It is a beautiful bow and I have had it for some time but I have never shot it. I decided to put that Smithwick on that auction site this evening. Still have found no info on that deathmaster and I was wondering if Ron Baker had something to do with Bighorn bows as it resembles them some.
