I'm new to PA, and wanted to say hello. New to selfbows as well. This is my first success, a hickory Holmgaard type that is 70" ntn, and 45#@29". She's finished with iol urethane and beeswax for polish. The wrap on the grip is buffalo rawhide, natural color. Hope you like her. I sure do. Now to make some arrows ...

Ain't no doglegs in that Holmie ;D She looks great.

That big tube you see behind me is a full buffalo rawhide. Went to rendezvous, last weekend, and just couldn't resist. Anyone else here ever have that kinda fit take them? ;) It's going to be my quiver, armguard, etc. Thinking of trying to tan a good chunk of it, if I can figure out how, from the rawhide stage.

Frist off, excellent bow. Well done. Second, I can relate to your fits. I ended up with a bag of buffalo leather scraps like that. It was a good investment. Great stuff.

Nice looking bow ! Good to see another Cheesehead on the site ;D

Very nice! I've recently been on some things very similar - hickory with narrowed "holmegaard" levers. They are good shooters.
Congratulations, look forward to seeing more of your work!
