First Bow Ever!

<< < (2/7) > >>

Easternarcher:
Thanks for the comments guys..
Being as particular as I am, honestly, I'm not satisfied with how it shoots, but I'll reserve judgement until I actually get some properly spined shafts. ::)

Pat B:
So thats your first bow! Sheesh ::) I can imagine what your 100th will look like. You did a great job with it. Very appealing all around.
  I'd bet if you built another with a different belly wood, say osage or ipe, you would be surprised and delighted with the cast. I never had luck getting a hard shooting bow from boo flooring.     Pat

jpitts:
Beautiful Bow. Great job.

mack:
Beautiful finish work, that wood  grain  combo looks great.

Thanks Pat. Actually, I do have a second bow in the making right now. It's hickory backed Jatoba. I'm hoping to get 50lbs out of that one for sure..But it's only half way tillered, so we'll see what happens.

What do you all think of the tiller and design...Am I even close?
