She is purty all over :). I'm thinking you prolly got some looks with a fence post strapped to your bike too, hehe.

Nice bow Don. I can't imagine riding a bicycle with a log like that strapped down between my legs :)

Don,I see the bicycle is becoming a popular method for bow wood pillaging. ;D  Mine gets used for this frequently. Very sweet lines on your bow! I bet its quick too!

I just keep coming back and looking at this one Don, the way you got her clamped down during glue up - more ideas :). You say not your best one by a long shot - I'd sure like to build one that purty....Nice bow!!

Very nice bow.I think you have that tillered the way its supposed to be for that design. I use a similar form for R/D bows even the shaping blocks are the same. I based mine on Rudderbows design. Only difference from you is rubber strips for clamps. How do you like the ipe for overlays? I was going to try that.
