Careful a few arrows from your first bow will have you grinning like the Joker and it may be perminant :)

Well done :)

paulsemp my wife got a lot more understanding when I started the cherry stave and told her it would be hers if it makes it. She is really excited now.

coaster it is a special feeling when the arrow hits the target. I think I will end up trading my wheel bow for a heavy recurve to hunt with ;D.

Brad, I am glad to see you got that bow posted on here!  Looks great! I haven't mounted those trade points yet, I think I am going to save em for some ocean spray shafts that are drying.  And the sturgeon skins should give me something to do tomorrow.  Great work, keep them coming.

Elktracker, from what I have seen, oregon ash loses moisture very quickly, so keep that in mind if you heat treat it.
