Tim I was excited when I saw your topic-disappointed in the posts.Was hoping to see some nice selfbows. You have some sweet selfbows. May be too many like me-have an interest but haven't put forth the effort to build one.

Beautiful bows they look fantastic. Great work !!! I've gathered the tools to knap my own heads ( I hope lol) but still haven't gotten flint nor the tools or know how to build my own selfbow but hope to one day.

Don't know what that was all about, the threads just getting started....

Anyways, I love the pics so far! Got a sweet selfbow and some great kills with it. I don't know how it gets much better!

Osage 66 in 50 lb that Pearl Drums built for me. I absolutely love this bow. Super fast, very little shock and surprisingly light in physical weight. Just a beautiful bow. http://eaglewingarchery.i8.com/images/Temptress2015/Temptress5.jpg[/IMG]

I'm really liking this thread! You guys definitely have some good ones!! I have a selfbow, but the only thing cool about it is that I made it myself (with a LOT of help from the OSS). It's just a plain old osage stick with some leather slapped onto the middle of it. Lol.

Hickory bow I made for my wife; backed with Saharan Rock viper & phenolic tips.....

Good looking sticks, guys! I am selfbowless at the moment, but have and Arvin Weaver selfbow on order.

Good shootin to ya all!

[K.S.TRAPPER]

Thanks Frank! finished that one up in 2010 I believe. 56" and 55@28.

Pretty much been all bamboo backed bows since but I do have 5 Hickory bows cut out and ready for sinew this summer.

To my way of thinking...if it sends an arrow downrange time after time and stays in one piece, that's something to be proud of.

Nice bows guys, let's see some more and I'll see if I can get some pics up in the next day or two myself.

Don't get me wrong, Cory. I am very proud of my home-made arrow flinger! It's just nowhere near the same class as these other bows!

[Thumper Dunker]

Great looking bows.
