I covet your tillerin' skills, Jamie.
 I also love the pics you post with yer shop in the background . Makes my mess look like Mr clean's workshop! ;)
 Yeah those lam. bows are easier to whip out but they have almost as many pitfalls along the way as a selfbow does, they are just different problems is all. Well at least thats been my little bit of experience with them.

i took the bow and snapped it over my leg this morning. the cherry chrysaled from rise to tip. the backing was 11o thousands thick so maybe it needs to be thinner next time. i have two more pieces i'll try and then im done. definetly not a big fan of cherry. on the other hand i have several nice pieces of sugar maple that i cant seem to get to bend so im looking forward to seeing how it works.
