Rob, that is a tremendous offer...I am interested...I cannot pay for shipping only though, you should be paid for your labor And I would be happy to negotiate a fair price.

    Bilbo, I don't usually sell my bows. It's just what I do. I'm retired and have lots of time and this is how I use it. It's a hobby, not a living. If I tried to make a living out of it, I'm sure I'd feel like I was back at a job where I had to produce X amount of work at X quality and it wouldn't take long to get tired of it. This way is better.
    I forgot to mention that this one has an arrow shelf.
    Soooooo, do you want a bow?      Rob
If I knew what I was doing, I'd probably be bored with it, and I wouldn't be here.

Ha, this forum cracks me up. Sure they might all be the most generous kind a people you can find when you try to buy a bow on here and all of a sudden you got 40 top quality bows shipped to your house the next day for free... but then try to post a bow a photo of a bow you made with just the slightest hinge, and then everybodys true colors come out,  >:D. LOL ( j/k, really though yall are some damn decent folk some times)

 the lower part is raised up,

 the part that has too little is increased."

Just cut a bunch of hickory or elm saplings. Rough a couple of them out and let them season for a month or two then one saturday try your hand and tiller them. It really isn't that hard once you get the hang of it and sapling bows are fast to make, from my small experience.

I second this. Also, your quote dictionary from dwardo is hilarious.
