Posting for ntvbowyer1969 (Anthony Marchese) bow
Up from the deep dark depths of mans imagination and fears rises "Leviathan".I have been making wooden bows for over 20yrs now.I had the great fortune to have met up with some great teachers.There was a archery store in New Kensington Pa. called Screaming Eagle archery.I was run by a great guy (roger Rae).He would hold seminars there on bow building and primitive archery skills.In those classes I had the privilege of meeting the likes of Paul Brunner and Jim Hamm and took bow building classes there.Being native American also I always had a passion in my blood for creating anything by hand.Alot of the elders from our band still make native crafts to this day.My passion now is devoted in the making of primitive bows and archery equipment. Leviathan is a osage flip tip bow.It is 60" long and is 59#@25".Even with its short length and stout draw weight she comes back smooth and casts a arrow with lightning speed.Thank you for the opportunity to show you all this,my latest bow fresh off the tillering tree.I hope you all enjoy this,my first entry in the BOM contest.

Thank you everyone for the kind words. reall means a lot coming from such other talented bowyers.I am new to this forum and I was wondering is there a easier way to reply besides going through all those questions at the reply page? It is a lot to go through to send replies.Thx again.

That is a beautiful bow. What did you use for tip overlays? They look great.
I believe those questions will go away after a little while. I know I don't have to worry about them.

Welcome to PA Anthony, you keep putting them out like that and you'll be real popular here. Very nice bow and story. I'm a real sucker for those sturgeon skins but that bow would look great naked. Probably beat me in the BOM. That's great though, always good to have some stiff competition. Like Pappy said just keep posting and all those questions will go away. We have a few rules here but all good and pretty easy to follow.
