Just an interesting take on bow building by a insightful young man.  Just something to watch after you put your drawknife down for the night. :)

That is a great talk! The kid was only 15 at the time of giving that talk! Cool stuff.
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
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

I enjoyed it as well. He has some great life insight in what he says as well.
