Here is a mulberry bow I made in the spring after returning from OJAM. I really like the mulberry as a bow wood and it has bumped hickory down a notch. A friend gave me the stave and a bunch more bow wood. Its called PBR for obvious reasons. The stickers were for fun.

Posting pictures on here is a seventy-four step nightmare resulting in dejected failure, broken computers, and a need to respond to the invitation song Sunday morning.  But, you can add Daniel Sweeney on FB and look through the "Bow Stuff" album.  Lots of selfbow game from the past few years on there.

My first self bow with my first self bow harvest. I built this bow from a strawberry guava tree which I harvested in the hills.

Pics are actually pretty easy on here! You just have to have an your pics in an image hosting site like photobucket, imgur, flicker, etc.
