Saw an interesting bow today.
« on: September 05, 2013, 01:34:27 pm »
Young lady had a bow that was made of layered Yew and for all intents and purposes looked like a "Traditional" fiberglass bow.  But no fiberglass.  I couldn't see it and she said they sell them as purely wood bows.  But the back was painted black and so was the belly. 

Who is this maker and what is the deal here?

Sounds like Dave Miller work to me.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

Don't tease like that.   We need pics!  Pics of the young lady.
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

Oh, with the bow, preferably.

Bows like that were made by the famous John Schulz after he became allergic to fiberglass and resin. I saw one made of tapered yew laminations and bamboo backed. Miller was a student of his, so that's a likely possibility.
