Post by: JW_Halverson on June 24, 2012, 05:03:10 pm: Maitus, you don't post often, but every bow you post impresses me deeply. I love the curves of this new bow, sir. She's a real beauty, and I am sure she is a great shooter!

Thanks for sharing your passion with us!

Post by: DarkSoul on June 24, 2012, 06:35:50 pm: I'm enjoying your unique style very much, Maitus. :) Please keep them coming! This bow is not my style at all; it's not something I would ever make. Yet I'm really amazed by your craftsmanship. The way you use the different materials gives me insight into a new approach I've not yet seen on this forum. Thanks for showing!
