Okay I got about 12 hours in this one on and off. Just having fun and wanted to motivate my self by showing my favorite forum my new bow. I used a hatchet, draw knife, farriers rasp, files, and sand paper. Want to get as good as all of you.  ;D

Definitely a good bend on that one!
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

Nice job on a tough stave. I have'nt worked elm yet but have a pretty good piece in the shed that will someday get its opportunity.  Danny

Nice work.  Nice bow and I love the pics of the tools in the dust.  Nice composition.
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso
