A customer of mine talked me into making a bow for his son with a bunch of overlays, and multiple stripes in the riser and such, and here's how it turned out. (My bows are normally a bit more plain)

Pretty bow ! should'nt have posted pics, your bow making time just got more complicated ! LOL
Now you gone and done it, stepped up to the custom guy. It looks great, now you will be getten orders out the wazoo for them.Congrats on a fine piece of craftsmanship Mike. :notworthy:
Very nice!
Mike, that bow is AWESOME! What a lucky guy to have that made for him! :thumbsup: :clapper:
Yeah, I think the guy mentioned his boy was 13. I'd have messed my trousers if I got a bow like that at 13. Anyhow, it was fun making it. In the pictue, it's only got one coat of finish so it's not quite done.
That looks good mike. All those accents are a pain but they do look purty. Nice job
:bigsmyl: :notworthy: :clapper:
As always, Mike, You Da Man!
Thats a fine looking bow! :thumbsup:

that is a great looking bow!
Nice job! I still like the ones you put together from scraps too though.
Nice job Mike!
I fully understand Mr. prairie Drifter posted some more fancy bows I built than this one, but this one I could actually shoot, the other fancy ones are only good to about 26" of draw. So the cat's otta the bag now, I guess it's time to start building eye candy.
Mike you build some real nice bows. Have you though about doing some 59 repros?
Very Nice Indeed!!!!
Mike~ Thanks again for putting up with my requests...Jake (13) is going to love it and is drooling over it already. Mike is shipping it to Dave Conroy (YORNOC) for a little bull snake magic that he does so well. This was a last minute Christmas request from Jake and he agreed to wait until his bow was built, so he only got a few gifts on Christmas day. I kept telling him it would be worth the wait...hard to convince a 13 year old of that but he has hung in there. It won't be long now!!
Nice looking bow!like the lines also.
Always nice to see great work like yours Mike!
Hawk, (Bill Browning) The inspiration for the recurves I make now, with the subtle curve on the riser, and the low brace ht, comes from the old bear recurve, and a bit of the pearson cougar. I like those old simple designs and trying to bring them back.
