Work of Primitive Bowyer Discovered
« on: December 17, 2008, 06:25:00 PM »
A piece of work from an ancient bowyer was recently discovered.  The work is pretty crude, but it makes a pretty good stand for a bird mount.

Can you name the bowyer?

What type of wood was used?

Redwood creations by Bucky Beaver.

Am I close? I know I'm half right.

Looks like a forerunner of the Asbell grip, notice the narrow handle and the noticable palm swell.

Mr. Beaver sure picked a huge willow stave, huh?   :eek:    

I know he did most of the work, but when I sawed the top portion it fell just where he wanted it.  ;)
