Handcrafted Wooden Bows by Tony Deland

Hey y’all! I can’t make bows anymore except now and again... sad for me, but one of my very first students is getting incredibly good! Check him out!

Finally done, an amazing super snaky Osage orange bow. Finished with horse tail and bear grease! 30 # @ 26"

I'm working on a new bow, but with my new art teaching job and the eihlers-danlos I am not making what I used to. Keep following I will make more I promise! Also I am taking orders for Christmas. Bamboo kids bows are on special for $40 arrows with cork points are $6. Thanks for looking and hope your fall was wonderful! The new bow is a super snaky Osage orange it should end up around 45 pounds.

Curvy piece of Osage orange slowly turning into a bow! This is going to be beautiful when it is done!

Soon to be a bow! This nice black locust should shoot fast! I'm putting an arrow rest on this time. Usually I use a more primitive style handle, but I thought it might be nice to get a little more modern.

Now is the best time to order a custom bow! I will have some free time on my hands coming up soon and can turn them around pretty quickly. PM me for info and prices. Thanks everyone for your support through the years! I get into a lot of projects but bow making has been my constant for a long time now.

Been tAking a break from bows making other woodcarving projects. Birch kukssa and a new green river knife blade handled.

At full draw

I just got a load of black locust! Soon to become bows... After a year or two drying, that is...
