nice bow and buck Bowjunkie!!

cool grass carp skin, that's neat I'm gonna have to try that. Love the fade osage and nice camo paint job on that one.

Nice bows, Pat!

I really dig the carp skins, John.

I like the dye jobs, bowjunkie.

Here's an English longbow I made out of eastern red cedar.

Here's a replica I made of the bow Galadriel gave to Legolas in Lord of the Rings. This one is made of hickory.

MAN, I wished that hickory stave I have in my garage would dry faster! You guys are artists, I can't wait to try to get a good selfbow out of a stave like you all. If my first one looks 1/4 as good as the ones that you guys are showing off, I'll be about as happy as a man can be. Awesome stuff all, makes me want to make a (non-board) selfbow more than ever.

I just wished I could put my hands on some Osage

Mark, I like all of those. I don't know which one I like best.

Mark Smeltzer · « **Reply #28 on:** February 03, 2014, 07:39:00 PM »

Thanks Sam, there's a bunch of really cool ones on here.

Pat B · « **Reply #29 on:** February 03, 2014, 08:01:00 PM »

I like them all too. I am constantly amazed at all the incredible wood bows being built today. I'm also amazed how some folks still consider them toys.

Mark Smeltzer · « **Reply #30 on:** February 03, 2014, 08:13:00 PM »

Yep not toys by any means. This guy lasted about 20 seconds after a sharp broadhead went through both lungs. I know bears arent the hardest to kill but I've had deer do the same.
