You make some of the nicest selfbows. Yew also makes some of the best looking selfbows. Just awesome.

Scott, that is why yew and Keenen are so good together.  ;D

Keenan, that is stunning. I am baffled at how your meaty clubs can craft such delicate beauty.   ;)   I had to go toyour website and look at all of your bows in the gallery page...again. You have made so many fine bows over the years.  It is awesome
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Forgot to check for more pics and I'm glad I did. Gorgeous. I love your handle wrap design how it goes up to the strike plate/arrow rest.

Thank you Guys.

Carson, thank you. I need to sit down and get things updated on the site. I've made several bows this year that I haven't even posted.

Ryoon, That style of rest/strike plate Incorporated has become my favorite since I first did it

Sounds like it hits pretty hard, but then again that's all yew knows how to do:D
Very well done Keenan! Maybe I'll make it to the next meet and finally shake the hand that crafts such fine bows :)

Yes, we had it last may. I'm not sure when it will be exactly, I'm guessing sometime in May. I'm sure Keenan could give you a better idea. It was really fun, I got a bow shooting, made some new friends, launched some arrows as far as I could. Lots of people made their first bow, which was fun to watch.

Sounds fun! I'll still be in school, but I'll do my best to make it out. Whenever it is.
