Thanks for the kind words, all. :)  I might have to give the fellow a yardstick with a string on it instead and keep this one for my greedy self.  I've broken three nocks with this bow.  I'm not that great of a shot; the bow definitely shoots better than I do!  :D

Beautiful bow.  I learned a lot from your photo montage--but would rather have been there watching the entire build😊.  How long did you take with the heat gun after you had it on the caul?

Best regards,
