How did you get that piece of wheel barrow handle into the riser?

Amazing bow. It should sell.

That's because you guys haven't seen it close up. I only sanded it to 100 grit, and I have maybe 2 hours of work in it. I glued it up some time ago as a prototype and just got around to making something of it.

LongStykes and shifting shadow, I'm not selling this one, but the ones I make from that form I call midsized lognbows for now, (until I come up with a different name,) and they sell for (once tax is applied) $194 and some change.

The thing a lot of people don't know about me is even though I bould bows and lots of them. I haven't been able to hold on to any I've made for myself. It's actually funny that a bowyer doesn't have a bow to hunt with. Lots of customers get a big laugh when they ask how the hunting season is and I tell them I don't have a bow to hunt with. I let them know I did have one but somebody liked it and talked me into selling it to them. I see the humor in it as well.

This one, I'm sure, if anyone was to actually hold it they wouldn't want it. Who knows maybe I'll get a chance to hunt again this fall.

Paint a big crack in the riser, and I'm sure no one would want to buy it then. I like your MUTT bows. Nothing goes to waste.

Really interesting profile.
Looks like a fast design.

If you are referring to what I think you are? I too pushed many a load!

Very cool Mike!

I'll bet you could make a silk purse out of a sows ear

Ugly? Even your ugly stuff looks good. Best of continued success Mike.

That bow is cool, not ugly. I like the "camo" pattern, Mike

Function over fashion, right?? I like it!
