Title: Brushbow
Post by: Shaun on May 25, 2009, 05:29:00 PM

I am nearly done with my first attempt at a bow inspired by Nels' Brushbow model from the '40's. I posted pics and specs on the Bowyers Bench forum...

Shaun, Fantastic looking bow! My hat is off to you as building a bow is still one of those dreams still. Really like the looks of the bow and I bet it does really spit out an arrow! Any more pics??? John

Shaun,
 Great job on your bush bow.After meeting you at Kalamazoo and seeing the bow you had made there,the fine craftsmanship of this one doesn't surprise me one bit.Nels would be proud.It must be very rewarding to build and shoot something that you made yourself like this bow.I am envious of your talent.Great job!!  John
