Truly beautiful bows! Your photography is excellent also. :clapper:
Great looking bows Gordon. Not a bad one in the bunch. I just started my my first self bow due to seeing so many threads like this with other members self bows. Thanks for posting.
That vine maple selfbow is a beauty!
I'd like to make one with a 29" draw length some day that I could handle.
Keep up the great work! Those bows are *awesome*!
Shoot straight, Shinken

Great looking bows Gordon.
Those are pretty awesome looking sticks Gordon. If I had talent like that, I wouldn't be typing right now!! lol
Awesome stuff!...Don
Great looking bows, Gordon. Sorry I missed the last meeting, it's been too long since I've had a chance to see them in person. I enjoy seeing the seemless blend of art and tool you create. As beautiful in the former as they are functional in the latter. Simply incredible!
Thanks a lot for the nice comments.
And thank you Stan. Hopefully we'll get another chance to get together soon.
Gordon

The Yew flatbow is one of the sexiest weapons I've ever laid eyes on! :notworthy:
