sweet looking bow
that riser is incredible,definatly eye candy
tiller looks perfect,lets see more of your work


awesome bow! is there anything bamboo cant do?  bows, arrows, scaffolding, chopsticks, flooring..  anyone made a bamboo string yet?  lol

again, beautiful bow!

i believe some native people have and still use bamboo as a string
its used on bows by natives in rain forest (if i remember right).they usually have long bows with excesivly long arrows
and the draw is short,but they use a thin sliver of bow as the string

i think a year or so back,someone on here posted a pic or two of just such a weapon
i always wanted a harley,untill it became the "thing to ride"
i ride because i love to,not to be part of the crowd

 That bow is a beauty.  I bet it WILL smoke an arrow. A real, Classic looking bow.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Thanks again for all of your compliments.  Its definitely encouraging.   I have been working on getting some more outer limb movement on this design but that reflex at full draw is addictive...I have found this bow can really stack them out to 25 yards...
