Congrats Weylin.  That's a beauty.  Greg has a style all his own.  A Badly Bent bow stands out in a crowd.  I can't get over that stain job.  It looks great on a selfbow.  It gives it an aged look or something.  I'm going to have to try that on my next white wood.

I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

That sure looks great! And I agree, that's totally B.O.M material 😊

Congratulations on your new bow!

I wish I wasn't such a jealous person.
"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

Awesome bow - that stain is really something.  Greg certainly has a distinct style.  I know that the one I received from him is one of the most cherished bows on my rack.  Congrats to both parties.

Lucky you Mr Olive! Greg makes a very fine bow. Enjoy my friend.

Congratulations on a fine, fine bow.  Greg's bows are second to none; a style all their own.  I'd be proud to own one of his making.

Oh man that's a beauty
How does one scallop it like that and prevent it from lifting splinters?

Magic.  That's my guess.
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.
