Thank you for your suport... 

I am suprised it held up so well....  it is a bit narrower than I planned but I felt the wood could handle it. I wish I could go out and use it but work :(

The wood on the back of this bow is as featureless as brown glass (no grain) and screams for some snake skins but the belly shows lots of grain detail. I need to find some skins (another lesson) for the back but for now I want to see if it's going to hold up. There are some things I would do different but again I was happy to hit my weight and keep #2 from the kindling box….along with you folks bow#2 was another good teacher .....

really nice looking bow, my only suggestion would be to use more of an angle when filing in the nocks, they look to be almost 90 deg. instead of closer to 45 deg., but as i said pretty bow, Bub

Thank you everyone...

bubby, I didn't even notice that until you pointed it out.... You're right they do look straight....  Opps, It will probably stress the string a bit much. I hope it doesn't break? 

Thank you for pointing it out..... I get in a hurry sometimes...........

robustus, that old Muley hardly had a tooth in his head and was very old but it took a seven and a half hour sneak to get in on him for a shot. He was a smart old bugger !!
