Seriously, these bows are like Yetis...a few guys claim to own em, several claim to have seen/shot em, but there is not a Google-able pic on the web to be seen!

Someone help me out here...please post some pics, reviews, comments.....something!!....Please?

Ahh thanks, Drew....good looker.  I am surprised that he has a different tip design altogether for the recurve as opposed to the longbow...I really like the longbow tips.  I wonder if he'd do them on a curve?

More pics, please.....

Look like they'd be a beast to string though.

actually it's just like any other type of bow when using a stringer. in fact when i slid the string loop up the limb i never had to worry about going off the whole tip.

I was looking for some of my old threads about the Gharing take down that I owned when I came upon this one from 2008...when I talked to Jon Gharing about that bow he explained to me that his bows were built using only hand tools...just think about the work that went into the bows in these pictures...sorry, I no longer have a picture of mine but the grip on that bow was probably the nicest fitting grip of the 30 plus bows I have owned, and it was custom made for someone else...sorry also but it does not appear that Jon has ever resumed building bows for sale

I saw one for sale at Whittingham, I think it was the fella from Dreamcatcher Archery. Neat bows.
