That's a good idea!

Looks like a wonderful first bow. Already started the second one ... sounds like you have the disease! I look forward to seeing it when you're done!

I can feel it.. the itch... I think I may be making bows for a long time. I hope so.  :laugh:

I think that's a pretty good job for your first...but, cedar may be a little soft wood for a tip overlay.

My first red oak bow had ERC tips as well, I think it varies in density quite a bit. The stuff I cut hardly dented with my fingernail and didn't take any wear with a poly finish.

Looks good, especially for the length. Did you post this on r/Bowyer a while back?

Well done! 32" draw is a lot to get out of a 62" bow... for experienced guys or for your first bow!

Talking trees. What do trees have to talk about, hmm... except the consistency of squirrel droppings?
