First bow ever Finshed!

[Del the cat]

As the bow drys and seasons, you may find it starts to chrysal on the belly (or even break). Don't worry, that's just life
Great bow and a good way to start, green wood is more forgiving and it's got you started.
If you get some seasoned wood make the bow longer and don't expect such a tight bend, but on the plus side it will shoot harder and faster with less set.
Good job.

Nicely done, they'll only improve!  Cut some more wood and let it sit, a year will go by in no time...

  Jake, rub some black shoe polish on that string...   I know this has got you wanting to build another and another...Keep going at it, I like your bow for a first, way to go.

My first was made from underseasoned wood and it looked the same strung as un strung. Start seasoning some wood but until then you can have a lot of fun making bows from seasoned or kiln dried boards. My advice is to find a bow you like and try to copy it but make it a bit wider and longer to start with. The help on here you can help you get good very fast and you will  be producing hunting weight bows in no time. Keep up the good work.
