First bow?!  Holy crap dude that thing is beautiful!!  You need to find a serious way to thank your mentor.  And as for being bumbed that building is done, forget that shooting is what bows are made for!  Bild them when your not able to go shooting!   ;)  ;D

Awesome bow!  Really great work.  I like the handle.  That textured grip is cool.  Man, you are in for it now....  this stuff is more addictive than crack.

Looks great, except the arrow rest is on the wrong side of the grip  ;D  That is one heck of a first bow.
i disagree, the arrow rest is on the correct side for all us " special" bowyers >:D
awesome bow , Bub

Good job, lefty!! I agree with what Bub said. We need more of us that shoot on the "correct" side.

Now go and clean up the future father-in-law's shop!  Be sure to dust everything and put it back in the same exact place!  That is quite a gift he gave you, investing that kind of time and effort in teaching.  If that's the kind of guy he is, his daughter might be something pretty special too.

I have to thank you all for the nice comments also. I consider myself blessed to have been able to help Joey with his first bow. He took to a drawknife like a fish to water, his attention to detail is obvious, and he did all this while attending college and playing ball.

 Not long ago I figured I could abuse him and have him help me with an osage haul...and here I was concerned about wood borrers, of course he is welcome to whatever he wants.

Instead of wood borers getting into your stash it looks like he will!!  Better get a bigger can of bug spray!

That bow is stunning! Especially for a first bow. My hat is off to you and to your instructor.
