I wanted to share the last photos from my 1st wood carving project. I'm done for now. I don't know if I'll add any more carving to it or not, we'll see if anything cries out to me as we hunt.
Thank you all for the very encouraging comments. I hope other artist's will post some custom work of their own hands too. I see so many very talented people in our community!

Thanks guys! Izzy, I am suprised I havn't heard from anyone when I asked if others offered custom wood carving for trad bows, seems like a natural thing. I can do metal engraving as on my limb bolts too. I may do more of this on my bows till I see where the potential may be. I do love the thought of working on bows. Who knows, perhaps if the right doors opened up I would consider offering wood carving, scrimshaw, metal engraving on bows. The only wood carving I've seen was offered by Dave Windauer from Silver Tips. I see so many talented people here I assumed this was something being offered thru some bowyers already. I talked with Whip and he kinda liked the thought of adding a Bison to his bow. My next bow already has some Elk drawings being worked into it. I want to see if I can get gun style engraving detail into my work. I think the ideas may be limitless?

I carve some walking sticks and a few Santas now and then when my arthritis allows it ....but nothing like that. Very nice job, and this is your first attempt on a bow.....WOW.!!   :cool:    :thumbsup:     :notworthy:

I did have a chance to see it in person this past weekend Mike, and you are right.  Impressive doesn't begin to describe it!  What a cool way to personalize a bow and make it into a truly heirloom quality piece.
