I'm proud of you Scott, that turned into a great looking bow. Of all of the locust I have given away and traded that is the first bow that I have ever seen made from it.
The first few bows that I made were from locust and I love the wood myself. I have heard that locust frets badly but I have never had a fret develop on any bow that I have made and I am pretty sure that my tillering is far from perfect. Hippy
