I want to make one so bad.  Trying to whittle down a hickory stave to be quartersawn now.  I need to give Rich a ring to find out the little tips. 

he is an awesome bowyer. 

You did an impressive job.  How long is your draw?

I wouldn't be in a big hurry to get smaller arrows.  Longer shafts are supposed to give you less Archer's Paradox.  I just paint a colored band on minefor shorter draws.

Great looking bow! I really want to try an ottawa some day. I would sure hope it's half as nice as yours.
