They all look good!

Good looking bows!
Welcome to Trad Gang.
It's hard to make a wooden bow which isn't beautiful, even if it's ugly.

Very nice work on your bows and terrific work especially on the tip overlays. How do you like the Massenduba to work with? I've made a few self bows with it, good straight grained stuff.

Excellent work! I'd be proud to own any of them. Welcome to the "Gang".
Plant a fruit or nut tree today, and have good hunting tomorrow.

Very nice bows! I think your English is better than all our German!
