I finished making this bow a few days ago.  This is a bow that I had posted as my "Diamond in the rough" in another thread about a week or two ago.  At the time it was only about half way completed.  A few of you wanted to see it when it was completed so here it is.  It turned out 49# @ 28" and is 60" long.  It is made of Black Walnut & Curly Maple.  Thanks for looking.

Love good craftsmanship Brandon..  Beautiful work.

brandon, absolutely fantastic! i loved the splicing of the limb veneers so much i am using it in my next bow. again, very very nice work!!!!!!

Very nice.  Did you do this custom for someone or will you use it to advertise your bowmaking abilities?

Very nice work, Brandon. That not only is a weapon, it is a work of art!!

TRULY AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT DOES'T GET ANY BETTER...JAKE

Now THAT is art! Incredible!

Very nice. I have to agree with texasrecurve, it is a work of art!!

We bow humbled at your greatness!  That is just beautiful!  I am just happy when an arrow comes out the other end of my bows.  You are truely a craftsman.  WOW

Thanks for the all complements.

initialimage,

This bow was made for a friend of my dad's.  He gave me a couple of his old recurves that he used back in the 1960's and 70's.  One of the bows he gave me (which I cherish) was made by a relative of mine that passed away in 1989.  He also gave me a nice piece of Walnut that he thought I could put to good use.  He never expected anything in return and I thought it would be a nice gesture to suprise him and make a bow out of the piece of Walnut he gave to me.  I don't know if he'll ever use it or not because he hasn't even shot a bow in a long time but it doesn't matter to me what he does with it.  It has his name on it, so it's his.

That is a beautiful bow, Brandon!   Great job!!

Too pretty to take in the woods that's for sure!

Next time you make those crazy veneers you can have them match up with the riser accents so it looks like the wood is flowing from the limbs, through the riser and back into the other limb.

If you make me one for free I promise I'll shoot it!!!

Looks like Norm Johnson has some competition now!

Wow,what a peice of art. Thanks for sharing.Hammer man

The ART of the bowyer is alive and well and living in Ohio. That is a very, very special bow Congratulations.

Bradon, Like I said before, the best looking bow I've ever seen.....stabow

Brandon, that is one pretty bow. Coot

BEEEEEAAAAUUUTIFUL.

Absolutely incredible!

Do you make them for the public to order?

That is simply breathtaking! And what a wonderful gesture. I am sure he will love it.

amazing, wish i had that kind of skill. one day maybe, even if he dont shoot it. It will make a nice peice of art to hang on the wall.

Wow....That puts the capital N in NICE! : )

Droptine59,

Here is a message that Brandon sent me recently which should answer your question:

Thank you. I don't have a website yet but I know I need to get one. I don't know much about getting one set up. I think I would get a lot more response from one. I do have a small ad in the Feb/March 2006 Traditional Bowhunter (Rose Oak Creaitons, pg 102). I have had a few calls but not a lot of response from it yet.

Stunning. Wow, what talent. Bwhntr

I would be happy with your rough diamonds anytime!

Boy its sure is a LOOKER!!!!!

great job!

That is one BREATHTAKING piece of work.

Probabaly the nicest looking unit out there now. Looks like a shooter as well.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to agree and I think most recurves are ugly.. The lines and detail on that bow are amazing...

That is one beautiful bow. Somebody buy one quick and tell me how they shoot. I'm very curious and very serious. Brandon, do you make takedowns?

Wow Brandon! That bow looks amazing! I have some walnut and curley maple coming and I hope I can do it half the justice you have done with this bow. Love everything about it. Mike

Brandon,

For what it is worth, I saw your add and the bow in it.  I immediatly looked  for a web address and even spent some time searching for a web site just to look at what you had.  So, it was working to some extent.

Absolutely awesome bow.  The detail is amazing.  I think a lot of folks look at Rudi, as the grand master, in germany of detail and artistry but you may have just brought the prize back across the ocean.

Well done.

 

talented to say the least. That is a great looking bow.

Awestruck here, very very nice work!!  Steve

wow

nice bow! I have a feeling ur going to get a lot of requests for bows like that! Never seen anything like it.

WOW is right !!!

Brandon: So shall YOUR BOWS be passed to others and be cherished! Thanks for sharing and don't be shy about showing us your future creations. Fantastic work.

-Mike

Brandon: when I start looking for my next custom bow I will Look You up. That is a very sharp bow!!!!!!!!!!
