[stickbowguy]

What a sweet looking bow that is....and I love the fact it is all Michigan. I need to talk to you about a sweet little LH for myself

[2treks]

Let me know when you are ready Michael. I have a short list to work from so the time is right to order.

Two Tracks ..I'm messaging you now

I saw the bow Tue.
A whole lot prettier in your hand.
Hard to explain but the grain looks like it is deep down into the glass.
The riser has a nice feel to it also.
Not sure but I think he could be talked out of it.

Thanks George, I am indeed going to post it to the classifieds today. Thanks again for coming down yesterday, I had fun and your bow is a good one.

I always thought using American Chessnut from recycled boards would be cool. Have saw a few craft items made from it.

[2treks]

That sounds cool Mike. Do you have a supplier of said boards? I would like to see them.Thanks

Chuck,

I've got a couple of Kolometz Special's that I've heard were all local woods as well.  Those all "local" bows are pretty special and very interesting looking.  There's a lot of character in some of the grain.

[michaelschwister]

I love the idea of using only home grown wood. Time to keep the money at home, and there is no loss in beauty and performance.

Great job.
Mike

[2treks]

I agree Phil, some woods are unique to a certain area and can ad a bit of romance and meaning to a true custom build.
Mike, That is kind of why I went this route, keep stuff at home. The American woods have some nice looks and performance. Thanks for the post guy's

Chuck, I dont know of a supply personally but did a search and came up with several. The items I saw were in a craft shop in NC. turned bowls and such. Its hard to imagine but Chestnut was once a predominate tree in eastern forest, it could grow to 10 ft around and over 100 ft tall.Taking a bow with Chestnut wood to the forest would surley have some major mojo.

[2treks]
