Ahh, your in IL - I know the Brazos well, at least the part I walk for rocks. Thought I'd found another victim in my area ;D.

Looks great, Dan.  8) It's been awhile since we've seen a selfbow from you.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

Thanks yall.

Ya, I've been hearing the call of the self bow as of late.

Yes sir, nothin' better then a hay bail and a fall leaf to shoot sticks at. The rest is two pieces of sadle leather glues together and the strike plate is inlayed tortiose shell.

A great bow.  I notice it looks like you keep a pretty long area between the fades in the handle area.  Is there a strategy there?

Wow - with a spectacular bow such as your, I'll bet you'd like to include a full draw picture so it can be included in November's Self Bow of the Month list. - OldBow

snedeker: All in effort to create clean flowing lines, thats pretty much the only reason. I'm an art major in school and worked in more conventional art forms prior to becoming completely addicted to bow making and find myself constantly trying to juggle form and function.

I will find someone to take a drawn shot for yall I spose...
