If I could pull off a bow like that, y'all would have to "excuse me while I kiss the sky..."
Thoroughly amazed!
Yeah, I remember when we had a President who didn't wear a tinfoil hat.

Simi. There could never be to many photos in one of your posts! Thanks for taking the time to post them. Your bows are truly amazing... simple form and function becomes artistic expression. It's so very pleasing to the eyes! Well done sir.

It's hard to believe you wound up with that piece of art from the piece of wood you started with! Amazing!
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

That thing is obscenely beautiful. Can't get over the character and curves of that handle.

Wooh, just came back from work. That is what I call response  ;D ;D ;D

Thanks everybody foe that nice compliments! I'm happy of everybody's comment!

This is very nice wood with pretty curves on it.

But to be honest, it wasn't that hard to make. The biggest deal was doing all the planing with the rasp only, I have no power jointer or router.
The limited ressources showed the way to the design choice.
I'm currently working on some character osage statics, no wowsers, but to balance the taves out is much more complicated than this project.

Bowman: purple haze means here the same as in cali, I've said it reminds me on my younger years .....

Neolithic Man: no problem visiting me you just need to come over the pond. Our house is open ....

Greg: I'm still learning from you and other masters here on PP. I know it is endless way to go and that's good!

What took you so long? ::)
Dude that is the prettiest coolest most funky bow I've seen.
Boy is that slick, yet it stays the right side of being over decorated...
Very sculptural

Purple haze, all in my brain
Lately things they don't seem the same
Actin' funny, but I don't know why
Excuse me while I kiss the sky
