My name is Shaun and I can't quit making bows, not looking for a cure.

Since two years I make R/D bows but I don't consider myself as a bowyer. (It is still a hobby).
Here are some of the R/D bows I made since Februari 2007.

I haven't made a bow yet, but I'm hoping to pick up a stave at the Kalamazoo Expo this weekend to try my first one.   If I can find a bow in it, I'm sneaking down to Utah to find whatever made that rub line in the background of Steadman's last pic.

New to trad and just finished my second red oak self bow.  Followed instructions from a build-along and they work great.  Bambi look out!
Can't wait to progress to something complex after i get the river cane arrows, flint knapping, turkey fletching, and leather work down.  I started too late in life and have to catch up on too many skills.  Daddyhoney

I started making bows in 1990. My first couple were glass backed longbows. Then I went to selfbows followed by BBO's. I enjoy making all of em, but of the 143 bows I've completed and hundreds I've "helped" other with, selfbows comprise about 90-95%. I enjoy trying different styles, woods, etc., but my favorite is still a good shooting Osage selfbow.
