I just got these photos from Tim Mullins of Acadian Woods earlier today. Tim has taken his artistic inlays to a new level of "Wow"!
Acadian Woods bows are unique and truly "custom". They are great performers and, as seen many times here on Trad Gang and on his website, Tim's riser design and inlay work are always among the very best of the best.

Can't wait for the build along....cause i get to keep the bow when Tim's done.
I had planned on going with the standard inlays on my limbs...but those sure are pretty...got me thinking about upgrading.

Tim just keeps raising the bar!
Tim's work is second to none. Plus, his bows are fabulous shooters! Thanks for sharing :thumbsup: .

Thanks for all the kind words guys and thanks Phil for showing some of my newest work.The photo you have is one of two bows for a father and son in Germany.Two bows just alike ,but with different poundage.
I recently hired Mike Teifer ,a really good friend of mine to help me in the shop.I`ve been building bows full time by myself for 18 + years now and having Mike in my shop is a real blessing.We`re having a great time and getting alot of work done.This alows me to bring some of my new ideas out that I`ve had bang`n around in my head for a while.
I`m also doing work on a new Broadhead multi inlay for my 1 pc. bows and remaking my website for the 1st time in a long time. I`m looking forward to building some inventory and attending some shoots around the country.
It`s all good here and work`n hard trying to catch up and get ahead!!!!
Thanks again,Tim
Awesome work Tim. Any chance you'll be coming to Denton Hills this summer?
Don,thank you for asking ,but I can`t make it this year.I don`t have the inventory right now ,but my plans are geared to make several shoots next year and Denton is always in consideration.
Thanks again,Tim
Tim, it'll be great to see yer smilin' face at some shoots again!
Hiring Mike was brilliant. I know you've been thinking about bringing on another artist/craftsman for a long time. Mike is a perfectionist and has a great sense of humor.
Yea Phil,Mike just clics.We think a like and share this crazy perfectionism/compulsiveism (don`t even know if that`s a word,much less the spelling Ha !!)but we really are working great together and turning out some awesome stuff.!!
Thanks again,Tim

Tim, I sure do agree that you and Mike are turning out some 'awesome stuff'.
Glad you fellas got together.
:archer:
Man thats just awesome.
Thanks everyone.!!
Phil,if and when you get a chance and are coming this way ,stop in and have a visit with us.
Take care,Tim
I have played guitar off and on for a while and always loved the work some custom guitar makers take with inlays...seeing it in bows now is very cool to say the least. Not to mention the copperheads that are amazing by themselves.
Awesome!
Josh
Thanks for the in-vite, Tim...
I've been meaning to get over that way for some time now. See ya in the next couple weeks.
Folks, I forgot to mention that, in admiring Tim's detail work, the photos do not do his work justice. The artistic lams and other detail work are flawless.
Oh my that is stunning work for sure.
Thanks a BUNCH !!

Check the inlays out on this one piece Acadian Woods Tree Stick. It was at the Howard Hill shoot this past weekend in Alabama.
Picture doesn't do it justice! One of the best looking bow I've ever seen! The man is an artist.....and they shoot as good as they look.
Tim is the real deal. He and his wife are a real pleasure to visit with.

Mike ,thank you a bunch for your kind words and posting a pic. of my latest and greatest work.It was indeed a pleasure to visit with you and looking forward to it again in the near future.
Take care,Tim
Tim has some amazing new inlay and overlay artwork, sometimes involving more than a dozen different pieces of exotic woods.
Here's a closeup of the overlay on that one piece "Tree Stick" Mike showed...

I visited Tim's shop a few days ago. What I saw and heard was all good. I think Tim is actually a violin maker who happens to like building bows...
Tim's fine talent, combined with the expertise of Mike Teifer, is about to bring some real surprises at Acadian Woods!
