George Tsoukalas:
Thanks, Brad. It does and just being in the woods is really relaxing. Jawge

Been following this one. I'm a new bowyer, and board bows have been a great, quick, way to get me into making bows. Thanks for sharing this one, might make me consider a potential board I might have otherwise thought was too narrow.
George Tsoukalas:
Aaron, you certainly can try that narrow board. The experience will be good.
The board I used was special. Very straight grained and I wanted poundage in the low 40s anyway.
When you work on yours keep is it simple is may advice. No added handle pieces and let the handle bend.
More on my site including a nice straight grained board.

ErictheViking:
good to see you making a bow again George. Looks great.
George Tsoukalas:
Thanks, ErictheViking. I actually am still working on the handle. I had to make sure the edges were glued nice and tight. Tomorrow I'll treat the leather with a waterproof leather concoction I bought years ago. Jawge
