Actually finished 2nd bow
« on: September 01, 2013, 05:33:37 pm »
Right around 30lbs at full draw. 64" ntn, maple board with hickory backing. Posted a video of the first shots a few weeks ago, finally took it out for the first time after applying the finish.

Thanks guys. I owe it all to my lovely wife as inspiration. Now we each have home made bows.

Nice job on that one.  Did they film the movie "Field of Dreams" in your back yard?
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Thanks Bry. I laughed at your pun, but my wife rolled her eyes. She's no fun.

Well all I have to say is that my first bow broke and I just started my second. You finished yours and I will say again that's its a very nice looking bow. And only after 14 post to date. Way to get after it.

I got pretty lucky with my first bow, and followed along with Sam Harper's build along. Didn't discover this site till I was well into it. Otherwise I would have been asking a lot  more questions. Between PA, reddit's /r/bowyer, and the TBB I had a lot of good info to make the two. I love this stuff, just wish I had some better work spaces. Now I just need to try to make one that doesn't start out as a board!
