When I built my first bow, I discovered just how deeply people and nature become one in that process. For me, bowmaking is a journey through time, through history, and to my true self.

For 16 years, I craft handmade bows from all eras, cultures, and continents. I use almost exclusively natural materials. The wood comes mostly from Austria’s meadows and forests.

 

I learned the craft of bowmaking from select Austrian, German, and Japanese master bowyers like Mich Wolf, Konrad Vögele and Kanjuro Shibata XXI. I owe a great deal of valuable experience to the legendary American master bowyer Paul Comstock, author of "The Bent Stick" and co-author of the "Traditional Bowyers Bible".

​

I completed an archery instructor training course with the Austrian Archery Federation. The knowledge I gained helps me practice my craft.

 

From time to time I hold a bowcarving course at my Sparrow Bows archery in the Waldviertel region. I also make custom longbows for archers and I perform analysis of digital bow twins.
