Richard makes some incredible wood bows, primarily from ipe, a tropical hardwood frequently used in the US for decking.
Richard was a pioneer in the use of ipe and has had a couple articles regarding its use for bows printed in a leading traditional archery magazine. You should definitely take a look at his site.
These arrows are for Cliff, who recently purchased an ipe/bamboo bow from Richard.
As you can see, I did something a little different with the cresting on these arrows. The flecks of gold give a nice splash of color to offset the green and black.I've had the pleasure to work with a few of Richard's customers to get them arrows for their new bows. One gentleman who had rather stringent requirements was Julian in New York state. Julian is 85 years old and shoots the longbow Richard made for him in competition. He needed arrows very closely matched in spine and weight as he's a rather serious competitor. He was very happy with what he got.
Shoot safe!
OHHHHH I love the first arrows. How much would they cost?
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Garith!
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see you.
My regular price on a matched dozen of crowned and crested arrows is $90.00. Those arrows come to you cut to length and with the field point installed. Upon receipt all you have to do is string your bow and go shoot.

I found I cannot put the graphic into a comment. But you can go here to see the Greenman designs. http://www.magickalgraphics.com/greenman.htm If you see one you like, copy the code beneath it and put it in your blog or sidebar is you wish.
ReplyDeleteAT 90 bucks a dozen, that's a bargain for the fancy ones.
