looks really nice. don't ever feel reluctant to share a bow!
I think simple is the best place to get rooted in bow-making, and often has more beauty to it .
I know about "set" though...all my bows I've made so far, have it, and though its a challenge, its not the end of the world.

Be careful out there

Looks pretty good to me. Nice tiller and that's awesome that it came in good and heavy. It doesn't look like it should be that heavy, but it must pack a real punch.

The pictures make it appear to be a thin peice of wood, while it is quite thick and pulls a good weight. Im guessing at 55#. My scale only goes to 50 and it tops off the scale. I don't much care for higher weight bows. Accuracy is better at lower weights and they are more pleasing to shoot.


Thanks  :)
