Beautifully simple bow Manny. Your trade-mark tips always add a nice touch to any bow you do :)!

A fine example of a "stickbow" - nicely done Manny.

thats an awesome bow, i like the big knot, it makes it looks real authentic. the overlays look great too, i was going to ask you how you did that, actually. did you just sand it down with fine grit paper, or was there more of a trick, or tool, involved? great, great bow, hoping to see more of youre work on the sight.

Wow! I'm tempted to say you have an assembly line set up the way you're cranking them out, but they're all unique one-of-a-kind bows. This one really is pretty, great job!

Have you been hog hunting lately?
