Beautiful, Lars!

Here's to a chance to go to Finland and, since you're not into killing, maybe winging a Postman or two.

Just get back into Norway quickly. ;)

Amazing work, Lars, I am truly impressed.

I wish i had the skills and patience to do such things.

My grandad was a blacksmith and used to design and handcraft his own tools also because there was a great shortage of them after the war, axes, knives, you name it, but it isnt genetic, as my dad doesn't have such skills. Nor do I;)

good luck with the next bow;)

Thanks Macca, it´s realy not hard to start making a bow....it´s hard to make a good one...
A bent stick with a bit of string is a bow, not a good one but it will shoot a arrow...

Here is my latest one

Here it is at rest.
