You crank out bows so fast and they are all beautiful.  :D Do you make your arrows too?

  That is a CUTE and menacing little recurve.  And I love how even a straight BL stave is never QUITE straight.

  Don't worry, BL is almost as heavy to carry as osage, so we're tough, too.  BUT, BL is a heck of a lot easier to split, in my limited experience with osage.

Black locust. Black locust everywhere.
Mollegabets all day long.
Might as well make them short, save some wood to keep warm.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Badly Bent- you will be seeing some more BL bows in the future. Its hard to not grab another yew stave though  ;)
PD - very snappy, i'll aim for 50-60# next one
Sidewinder - building bows since last winter, not spring  ;)  Making sticks bend has been at the top of my priority list since. She's 1.5" at the widest. Could of probably been narrower
Shaneisneato - Yup, I love making arrows. got ALOT easier and faster with a nocking jig and 6 feather fletcher.
GB - A full time job and 3-4 hours in the shop every night sleep comes pretty easy!

Tiller looks spot on.  I also like the effort you go to to photograph your bows. Hard work, and art needs to get that kinda respect.

Thanks guys.
Sasquatch- not much effort! It's our usual shooting spot, these smart phones take pretty nice photos though. Not the greatest light, but I think bows look best photographed in natural settings.

Another wonderful piece Wizardgoat, I like the salmon skins and the choice of hemp for the Strunk wrap
