I just got some black walnut for riser material, but haven't tried it yet for a bow. Yours looks sweet. What about the full draw?

That looks really nice.  Looking forward to the full draw pic!
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

It's awesome bow wood and probably one of the most beautiful


Good lookin bow!
Love the ridged back.
Now let us see the full draw too  :)



Thanks that's what the back looked like under the bark

Love it! Nice bow, beautiful bow wood, beautiful side profile!

Thanks really appreciate it

That's a sweet looking bow. I really like the contrast between the sapwood and heartwood too.

Yea it turned out nice thank you !

Great looking bow! Never tried walnut myself but plan to someday. It is definitely beautiful wood.


Definetly try it if you get the chance !

Yes you're right it is very comfortable to shoot almost as smooth as my hackberry bow that's similar to this one

There you go!! Not bad!! ;)

Nice work on that BW.

I have limited experience and have only finished 4 bows. 3 osage and 1 black walnut. The walnut has been the best performer so far.
I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.
