I'm new here and just found this yesterday. It helps, thanks.

Gordon,
I just joined the site yesterday (was approved today), and found your tutorial. I was feeling a little silly because I have two pine boards for practice, and then bought a HUGE purpleheart board for $45. This was after telling my husband I didn't want to buy any expensive wood until I was sure I wanted to do this. I thought he'd shoot me.
After seeing your build-a-long, I am quite smitten before ever touching the wood. I will, of course, have to get a band saw. I can't imagine not sticking with this after seeing the step-by-step here. You have made this completely accessible to me, as I know very little about woodworking, and you have my thanks.
Sincerely,
Deb Keough

This is one of my all time favorite posts, I lose track of the number of times I've come back and looked at this.
Oddly, Today, I can't see any of the wonderful pictures. Is it just me? I don't even see html code for the image links.

I have to echo what Deb says. Seeing a stave or board... and seeing the finished bow that comes from it - that can be more than a little daunting for a newbie.
I love the build-alongs because they get down to the nitty gritty and explain in layman's terms how each step is worked through in preparation for the next step. Really very much appreciated, guys. I'll try to keep it going ;)
Steve.
