Good job Don. I was a bit surprised when I saw it was your first. I brace my bows at 6 to 6 1/2" mostly because of feather clearance. 5 to 6" would have worked on some bows but feather clearance has always been a nagging issue to me.

I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.

Thanks again everyone. I hope I didn't lead everyone astray, this isn't the first bow I've made. It's actually the fifth but it's the first one I've finished. The first one worth showing off. See the first post of this thread.
Thanks again
Don
