Sweet Bow  I like it, luv the wood bows you  guys make and good to hear from fellow archers and bowyers overseas.   Looks nice and details are sharp, thanks for sharing, Ken

We have now had several bowyers from Poland post their work.  In every case the workmanship is exceedingly fine.  Must be something in the water?

Thanks for sharing, maybe we should pick up some tips from you!

Welcome aboard. Nice clean work.

Wow those things are really doing some work! They look awesome! Bet they are fast. How much set did those hickory bows take? Is it fairly dry in Poland?

I have never seen a bow come out of Europe that I did not like!  Great work!

Good to have you here SA Bowyer. :)  Those bows are very nice indeed, your tillering skill looks top notch and your bows are pleasing to the eye as well. Hope to see more of your work.
