Congratulations.  ;)  Breaking your first bow is a great achievement.  I hope you get to break more in you bow making future because as Jawge will inevitably point out:

"if you aint breaking, you aint making."

I know it sucks, but use the 'suckage' to fuel more bow making!

"sorrow in wood shavings"  I like that Frank!  That poetic!

If you are serious about making wood bows you have to reconcile yourself to breaking some of them - there is no getting around it.

@ Rossfactor...
'Suckage'  ;D I may have to borrow that expression.
