That’s a beauty.
Nothing clears a troubled mind like shooting a bow.

Yes Joe I do build my own bows, but only a couple per year for me to hunt with, and my hunting partners. I don’t sell bows but there are some great bowyers on here who do. Go to the “Bowyers” section of this site and you can view several bows I have built with pictures from start to finish. Thanks.

Finally getting some coats of oil on the riser. I normally use Tru-Oil but am trying out some Teak oil this time. Sure is staying tacky for a long time! But I’m getting close.
