alot of character in that bow, finish looks very cool too. great job.

It's a Yumi ;D Crazy is the perfect word for it. Great job with it though, I wouldn't have the patience to tackle that.
-
Wow, what an interesting looking bow, and what a way to take a 'trash' piece of wood and turn it into a working beauty. I applaud you.
-

It takes some talent to make a bow out of a piece of wood like that!

Thanks guys-seeing the bows on this site gives me inspiration to try sticks like this,now to finish my quiver and get out in the woods .Hammertime

Have I mentioned I love painted bows??
This thing locks C R A Z Y !!! - very well done!

Cool bow! Gotta love those character bows! Got it bookmarked for Sept BOM contest as well. It takes skill to get one that shaky to survive into a shootable and surviving bow, great work!

I love it! Ain't a single thing wrong with that bow. How does it shoot?

"crazy ash" Ive been called that before. Oh wait, thas an "h" not an "s". Sorry ;D
That is a crazy bow. I like it.
-
Thanks Pappy Jawge and Kent ,I tried a few things different on this one,like working the wood down while it was green then putting in a reflex and letting it dry in the form.Heat treated a reflex in which it lossed some of during practice rounds. the paint job is somewhat from the delaware native americans I know I saw on a bow somewhere,anyways thanks.Hammertime
-
That is one wild looking bow,nice job.
