...here comes a few more pics. This first one was unbraced just after a dozen or so shots. I'll get a full draw shot after Marcia finishes doing our taxes later today.

That bow turned out beautifully, Pat.  I am realizing how much better my shooting is in the low 40’s than 50.  I really like the rattan wrap and those warts are GREAT!

Nice job, buddy!

That "knotty girl" looks great.  I like your grip wrap too.  Thanks for the build!   :OK

  Nice work Pat...That one is a quick shooter I know...Looks cocked and loaded at the handle and fades... love the slightly stiff outers...Nice bend... (SH) 8)

Yeah, Don, she could have bent more into the handle but as she is she shoots quite well. I've always liked a straight limb selfbow but they always seemed to get bent up.  ::)  I was determined to not bend these tips.  :OK

I don't know Pat, I think I need to evaluate that one in my own hands. I'll pm you my address, if it ok after I check it out for you I'll let you know.  (-S

Missouri, where all the best wood is! Well maybe not the straightest!

Building a bow has been the most rewarding, peaceful, and frustrating things I have ever made with my own two hands!

 Pat,
          When I said cocked and loaded, I was referring to the slightly reflexed look in the handle area... Your fades out of the handle are excellent...I should have said Cocked, Locked and ready to Rock! Sorry for the confusion man... (SH)
