Pat yourself on the back, that bow will make meat! Practice, practice, practice and it will all come together at crunch time :) nice work

Good job and nice tiller.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

Thats a wood I've been considering more.  Its really plentiful in Nor Cal. You did a nice job with it.

Very nice looking bow.  Good luck with it on your upcoming deer season.  Hope we get to see some meat photos with it  :D

Thanks again everyone, glad you like it!

Tracy- Thats the plan, and the hope!

Gabe- Definitely recommended, although be careful about keeping the back free from tool marks, its very soft wood, at least compared to Ocean Spray.

David- I'll see what I can do about that!

Nice work.  I have been wanting to try that wood myself.  Looks like a nice hunting bow to me!

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
