I was looking at the traditional bows on Martins website and ran across this video. I thought it was pretty neat having never seen this before.
Cool video
Lot of skill there! Pretty cool it is hand shaped and not CNC.
There is another string of posts on this forum that indicates Martin is going out of business. Hope the guy in the video can find a use for his skills, or maybe is in a position to retire.
Gifted hands
I saw that McDave.
I had a Hatfield TD made around 20yrs ago,and Larry and everyone else were great to talk to.I was lucky enough to ask Mr.Martin,Mr.Hatfield and all of the bowyers that handled my bow to autograph my riser.They did and I am very thankful.Best Wishes to all there.

Thanks for sharing. Very sad to hear Martin is going under - I have owned many of their bows over the years.
Thanks for sharing that was great!
I'd say that wasn't the first bow he'd finished, amazing skill.
thanks for passing that on! I would like to sit on a stool and stare at that guy for a day. lol
