Excellent tiller! Which limb is lower?

Well, what to say... first off all- thank you for mentioning this interview here my friends. I didn't see this topic before. I am far away from beeing famous, I just wanted to introduce people in Serbia with power of bending stick, knowledge here is so low about it. Reporter that asked me qustions m...

Skinwalker... as my beard grows and my skills become slightly higher. Thanks for kind words.
Thank you Sherrif. This is cornus sanguinea. Yes, it looks similar to some Caterpillar.
Hi Haithabu, my friend... thanks for comments. I do not understand very well about interview...?

I was not often here last weeks (months?), I was occupied with some other projects, will present soon. This is bow I finished for a friend. Curved, knotty dogwood sapling. It is 72 ntn, 1" wide and little less thick in the handle. Was difficult to tiller beacuse uneven reflex in the outer limbs...

Very good! i like character very much!

Thank you very much my friends! LJB, these ring are thin but with good early/late wood ratio. On both bows there are some thin layer of sapwood that could not be removes because it is part of heartwood ring that I chased. Soometimes sap and heart comes together in first heartwood ring. Windman, I ha...

One day young man came into my shop and asked me to make for him a bow that looks similar to my old pyramid locust bow, but lighter. Yesterday I finaly finished it. It is 68" ntn pyramid, little over 2" wide at fades. One of the strange things: I have about two dozen staves cutted in one f...

Good bow. I always wonder could tips be smaller.

Thank you very much friends! Moem, I just scraped out spoonge core. I think it is very longlasting wood. Eldermother, my bow form last year, shot until now few thousands of arrow without problem. Lucky, it is very strong in compression. Raven, this is natural colour, pig fat is overall it. Bigbadad-...

Good work Blacky. Hazel is very nice to work. I have made some totaly round bows in 50# range and they performed very well. I think I have no more hazel, must go to cut some...

Moem, yes hole is in the handle. FluFlu, your bow will be better and more interesting than this one. Much work these days because winter delaying, a lot of good friends waiting, you are one of them. Morten, I think it is fast, will check speed these days. BL is photosensitive: I cover it with pig fa...

My friend has elderberry longbow that shoots every day at least few dozen of arrows, very steady bow still. I think there is no reason to be not longlasting. Jaro made 140# warbow off it and said that in Italia in medieval elderberry was substitution for yew. I just scraped out sponge score.

Beautiful thing! Both tiller and look! Especially horn nocks.

This slim bow is inspired a little by Hadza bows. It is light and fast, I will chrony it soon. Maybe I am in love, but I think nothing (except maybe yew and laburnum) can compare with beauty of polished and oiled locust. It is 60" ntn, very short for my taste. This hole in the middle gives it s...

I usually do not make so short bows ( I am slowly transfering to warbow making I hope ) but recently I have made two of them. One is this little elderberry. 60" ntn but very comfortable to shoot, with low set. 50# 30" but I realiesed that I like it more in 28". It is interesting that ...
