YEEE HA!!
« on: April 14, 2014, 09:44:00 PM »
Guess what i got!   :bigsmyl:
i really respect this guy as a bowyer- and he got me started with bows here in canada  - and have always wanted one of his bows- here is a classic!
   

a huge thank you to "Big Bert Frelink", this dainty little bow has got to look like a toothpick in his giant mitts!

i just love the understated, but finely crafted tips!!!

bottom tip
very practical
   

top tip- very fine
   

beautiful handle
   

this bows workmanship is so subtle and understated- but is all there!!

Lucky!  Beautiful bow and beautifully tillered as well.     :clapper:
It's hard to make a wooden bow which isn't beautiful, even if it's ugly.

Hell yea! Nice bow you've got there.

Some of the finest bows I've seen on here have been by Bert, this one is no exception ... beautiful work.

Cheers to both of you!

There is nothing prettier than a yew long bow. If I lived in the NW part of the states, I would be making a lot of yew bows.

Makes me want to start planting Yew all over the place in the northeast ... I wonder if it would survive.
