Purdy!
Wood is beautiful!
I've never shot one of your bows, but aesthetically they have a really unique voice. The lines on your work are bold, and elegant; reminiscent of the dawn of industrial design when they no longer had to worry about making it work, but knew it would work, and wanted it to be beautiful as well.

Real nice.
Chase, have you been hanging out with Friend or what? Eloquent and spot on Sir!
Cody's 43" recurve has very bold lines. I like!

Awesome thread, I wish more bowyers would do this. I love seeing the transition. TJ, you are so right..wood is beautiful, one of the things I love most about trad archery.
Wow , keep em coming.
You have some serious talent. Love your bows.
Great resource for guys trying to picture what a block may eventually become, especially once the finish is put on. Thanks for posting.
WOW!
Nice work !!!

Neat Stuff Cody! :thumbsup:
That's quite the selection of high quality wood you have. And some very very lucky customers receiving those bows.
If I was a tree I would hope a bowyer would use me to make a bow.
Very cool....
God bless,
Simply outstanding

OMG :eek:
That Ziricote bow really is a piece of art !
Your bows have clean crisp lines. Then there's the wood...beautiful. I'd sure like to shoot your bows sometime. Are you planning to be at any big archery shoots? Be cool to see these out east like Denton Hill. Finally gotta ask...Knife Scales :)
