Hello,
Here are some pics of three bows I´ve made in January and February.
You do know the Hazelbow already.
The other bows are out of Elderberry and Prunus ( the one with the Deerhorns)

yep youve got it bad like me. Dont bother going to the doctor, I almost ended up at Sanitarium lol. Great work. Luv the pictures learned alot without any words.

Very nice work, It is always nice to see some different woods being used. I have never seen an Elderberry bow before. How do you rate it as bow wood? Good job on those tough looking pieces. You should be proud of your fine work.
-
Look like good bows. Any chance of posting full draws of your elderberry and prunus in good light?

I'd say ya done good in all aspects. Really lilke that moss on that one. Seems that cat has to be in your business at all times? :)

Thanks to all of you :)
@Ricktrojanowski: Elderberry is a very good bow wood , its commen to use over here in Germany.
You can make some very fast short bows out of them and its a fantastic wood in combination with bambo. Excelent for recurve bows.
Hm, better tiller photos in better light ;D ok, next week if i find the time ;)
The ham, hm oh ya not a lot left by now... ::) I made the ham aswell 8)
Thanks , acker
