I have read it three times within the last 2 days! Very good and I have learned a lot. I will be following your tillering process. On the bows I am currently working on. Thank you!

I just keep coming back to this thread, musta read the buildalong part 25 times now.  I have a stave of hazelnut, 84 inches long, that has been drying since last October.  Not sure what Im gonna do with it yet......I'm thinking looooooong flatbow.  This thread has taught me so much, it could be the best buildalong Ive found.  Thank you!

Yep, your ba is still being read.  In my case, over 'n' over again. 
Your results, however, will likely not be duplicated by this poster.  But they certainly are impressive!

Gordon, I am so pleased to find this thread after several years being away from bowbuilding. Your bows have always set such a high benchmark.
I cut a vine maple stave the other day up near McKenzie Pass, and though immediately of you.

I can't believe folks are still reading this build-a-long. I am humbled, thank you for all your kind words.

Gordon, I read this all the time. At least twice a week. It's kinda like watching a movie, you always pick out something different every time you see it. It's very well done and written. Thanks again, Patrick

Gordon,
Just finished reading your BA today.  It is very helpful.  I have made 8 bows and have taught some others how.  This will help me reach a new level.
God Bless,
Perry

I just harvested my first Hazel today, put it in the search, and this popped up! Holy cow, such inspiration! Thanks for doing this BA. We have loads of Hazel around here, so if it makes a good bow, I am very happy!
