Wow! I'll say it again; You make some fine looking bows. Nice to see some uncluttered, yet eye catching bows.
You have an artists eye for simple elegance.  :notworthy:
Ooo, who, who hangs free

Where do you find that rattan.  Sure looks nice and clean. 

What are the strings for??

Those are great looking and doubtless great shooting bows you're making. Very well done indeed.

Beautiful works there Max!  That rattan is a fantastic idea.  I'd love to see a finished photo after it got all shaped out.
