ill probably make another thread with the finnal pictures of it in the ELB section of this forum.

hope you enjoyed this thread as much as i did making it ;) SS

Put them in here! Keep everything to one thread as it's easier, plus the bow is far too light to qualify for the English Warbow section! 

Looks like you had a blast, and I love that Lemon/Osage/Hickory contrast.  Very smart looking!

Had never thought of using those warbly-marbly acrylic blocks to make ELB tips or strike plate inlays.  Cool idea for something so non-traditional.  Thanks for posting so many of the detail photos, such as the strikerplate inlay.  That's always a hair-raising moment for me, no matter how many times I do it.  Something about digging into the grain of the wood gives me the heebie-geebies.

Looking forward to seeing the (near) full draw photos, kiddo!  Good work.

I remember when I was a teen, I was the smartest man in the world, and it was amazing how foolish and simple mided the adults were.

Somewhere between 16 and 21 they turned into geniuses.

You've been exposed to some serious wisdom on this forum.  Soak it up and keep making quality posts like this one.  I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of the finished bow.

Yours in hope,
Pekane
