What a great first bow, brother.  I got it bookmarked for August Self Bow of The Month Contest too.  Go check it out!   :)

Nice job! I'd be proud of that for a 1st bow. As critique... I would make the handle a bit shorter and let the wood bend more in that area. When are you going to make a self bow?//   Tom

Thanks Tom... The handle was as short as I felt comfortable going without having it pop off since I glued it on. It's a 4 inch long handle with 1.5 inch fades..... I also wanted a fairly eliptical tiller since that's what the tbb recomended. As to when I will build more bows??? As soon as I can get my hands on some good wood.  ;D
