Even with all the wood alternatives, there is a good reason that nice walnut is still the wood of choice for custom gunstocks. Works just as well on bows too. I really like the walnut on my bows.

You have a nice one there.

Three shots and they all just barely missed the bow. People are going to think you tried to miss it.  ;)

That's beautiful. Very nice proportions. I bet it's a joy to shoot.

Yep, close up needed. Good looking hay bales however.

This one really isn't my work,  I've been mentoring my older brother to build bows and I've recently hired him on and this is the first one he completed himself.  Since I showed him how to do it, and he uses a duplicate of the longbow form I designed, it's exactly like the custom ones I make.  Plus I Q.C. everything. As he makes them I'll be posting them on the sponsor's classifeds available for immediate delevery.
