Missouri, where all the best wood is! Well maybe not the straightest!

Building a bow has been the most rewarding, peaceful, and frustrating things I have ever made with my own two hands!

Very nice bow, wished my first or 2nd had turned out like that. Tiller looks great, not sure on the skins but HA, if you like them I like them also.  ;):)

Ha, yeah, the thought just occurred to me when I learned about people using plain rawhide (not that my rabbit skin is adding any structural support)

Thanks, and it is does seem to be an obsession. That's probably why I don't let my staves dry enough.  ;D

It's just rapid unplanned disassembly. I don't know what you mean by 'it broke'.

As long as you collect staves faster than you build bows that problem will correct itself over time :)

Nice bow . You are welcome in my shop anytime. Some are just naturals. I am pretty sure I will be in western Pa. This next summer. Stay in contact and maybe I can bring a couple staves and we can hack one out. Arvin

Hey Arvin,
Sounds like it'd be fun. I live on the northeast side of the state though. But hey, if work isn't too busy and I have some free time, it could be possible.
I'll keep it in mind.
