Dang Cody,

You got some real talent, I mean that!
I feel like a hack compared to you.

I cant remember a bow you've posted that I have disliked.
I dont like everyone  by the way, not nearly.

Unbelievable.

Man guys, Thanks a bunch for all the wonderfull comments. I would be nowhere close to where I am today if had not been for all the fine people on this forum helping answer questions, posting there bows and encouraging everyone. To get encouragement I frequently go through the older posts and stare at pictures of others bows. I also must give all glory to God, who gifted me with a passion to create and I want to bless others with this gift. Again, thank you all Gentlemen for your encouragement!!

"Your first lever bow" looks better than any bow I've ever made or probably will ever make, haha. Everything about that bow is incredible. The profile, with the gracefully recurved levers, is very nice. Did you bend them when they were a bit thick to be able to have thicker recurved levers?

Thanks a bunch guys. @ ...knots, I heat bent the levers around a form when they were 3/4" thick. I was surprised when I took them off because they did not spring back at all as wood always does. I'm thinking about making a BBI lever bow next with several laminated strips at the ends.But I've got about 10 other projects going right now.
