Hey Gang,
   if you've got any pictures of character or super character selfbows I'd love to see them. I look forward to the posts(and pics) to come. Take care, Matt

Seems that when I make selfbows thats all I make. We got some funky hedge here in ILL...

dan

This ones a little guy...57" 35# at 26"

 

This ones sinew backed 60" 50# at 28"

 

This ones 66" 54# at 28"

 

This ones my personal favorite. Not a single knot in the whole bow, awesome performer. 63" 62# at 27"

 

This ones a supersnake penobscot, 62" 48-65# at 27"

 

This ones another favorite. Looks like some steped on it! The swoop is where the tree grew around a huge knot, I have another one just like it that swoops the other direction. 62" 47# at 27"

Man, I have too many...ran out of room there...

This is a bow I helped a friend make. 64" 66# at 28". Turned out to be a ripper! Don't know why I'm making the face...just a dork is all...

 

This was my first try at hardcore character wood. 64" 50# at 27"

All those curves does not effect the way the bow preforms?

Dang Manny! I've seen all these bows before but those guava bows still make me smile. Can't believe how tough that stuff clearly is even when shaped like that. I just love your work!

Awe shucks! Thanks.

dogsBHTG: nope...crazy as they look they will perform just the same as a perfectly straight piece of wood that has the same level of set and weight/draw...

Awesome looking bows fellas. Very beautiful. It's amazing what you can make a bow out of-though it takes the right craftsman. Again great looking bows. Keep em'comin'!!!

Probably the prettiest character bow I have made so far. I don't own it but I had to show it off.

 

I made this bow from two matched billets so the snakey limbs match. This picture shows both limbs.
