Congrats,hats off to your work and to primitive bowhunters   :thumbsup:
An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.

WOW, those are some really great looking bows! Nice work with the white woods especially. I can't see that there's much, if any, set in any of those.

Great pics as well.

Great looking bows Gordon. Not a bad one in the bunch. I just started my my first self bow due to seeing so many threads like this with other members self bows. Thanks for posting.

That vine maple selfbow is a beauty!

I'd like to make one with a 29" draw length some day that I could handle.

Keep up the great work!  Those bows are *awesome*!

Great looking bows, Gordon.  Sorry I missed the last meeting, it's been too long since I've had a chance to see them in person.  I enjoy seeing the seemless blend of art and tool you create.  As beautiful in the former as they are functional in the latter.  Simply incredible!
