First bow--osage

[Cameroo]

Man, that's a sweet looking bow.  It's amazing what a "first-timer" can do with a good teacher.  Hopefully he has done his job in "planting the seed" in your brain, and we'll be seeing more of these from you.

And your teacher has got to show us more of his work too!  I was impressed with the first one he posted a while back, but he's got to have more cards up his sleeve

Beautiful bow. That's your first? Wow

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.

2nd that!
That is exceptional for a first. Hats off to you.
