i seriously think, that the bows we get to see here on PA are getting constantly better/nicer/more beautiful! -  right before i had a look at keenans syringa handlewrap; this here is totally different but great as well!
really looks like a fantastic bow! thanks for sharing you knowledge!

Somebody is going to be really happy with that beauty!

With a fine osage selfbow, my elkhide quiver filled with cedar arrows fletched with turkey, and with the invitation of the forest, I am about as happy as a man can be.

thanks for the tip on the osage...

I made the yew holmegaard.  Had to do it!  The stick was so full of knots, it had to be a flatbow, and I never made a holmie before.  I love it.  It's so fast!  Easy draw.  No breaking it at all.  Couldn't break it with a truck.  It feels a bit light on the draw, but is still a very fast shooter.

I'll be making more holmegaards in the future, for sure!

Hey, Scott

I believe it's either 3/8" or 1/2", but to tell you the truth, I'm not 100% sure. Fairly fine toothed, for cutting hard wood.

Adam, this is the coolest build along that I've ever seen.  :D I am definitely going to have to try making one of these!  I was just wondering, have you ever made one from maple, or do you think it would work ok?
