About the Bowyer

A bow was about connecting with Nature. The modern, cold materials of fiber glass and pulleys just didn't feel right. The bow had to be of wood.

From that first White Ash Straight Bow years ago to gnarly Osage Orange bows today, there is something deep inside that says "This Is Real".
