Heya Folks,
Well, after four months of reading and some backed bow successes with more breaks, this is my first fully completed bow and first selfbow.  It is from a hickory board given to me by a friendly cabinet maker.  Board was 72x1.5x1.  This bow is 64 inches ntn, a 1x4 handle flaring to just under 1.5 width through mid-limb and tapering down to a half inch nock.  This is my first flemish string and also first leather handle wrap that I stitched.  I stained with a cherry finish and gave it three coats of polyurethane.  It's my first bow that I think will last for lots of good use, 10th made including breaks.  The bow is 50 lbs. @ 27" and dubbed "Self-Medication".  I'm figurin' most of yall understand why.
Be well,
Parnell
