Nice one John! I've made a couple of ash bows in the past and looks like yours turned out a lot nicer then mine! I'd bet your dad likes it for sure. Look forward to meeting you at the Classic! :)

John, the ash boards I had were very good grained so I was able to chase a ring on a couple of them but I gotta say that the bias and edge ring bows performed much better all around, go figure....Brian
