Well added a leather handle (please excuse e pore lashing job, the leather was a little small) so now I am officially done with this board bow.
It looks quite good but I weighted it one more time when I was done and found that my final sanding had lowered the draw weight to 32 lbs at 28"  >:( I must have done too much.
Sorry guys for that disappointment. But other than that the bow looks quite good. I think the spray poly really adds a nice color to it.

Here's a nice view of one of the limbs, I just love how the poly looks on it.

I, and likely many others, are tickled that you are pleased with YOUR result. Congrats, sir, and hope to see many more bows from ya!

The leather isn't too small, the handle is too big😲lol, congrats on your first real bow

The big handle is an inside joke right Mike😉

Haha, my main bow right now is 31#@32" until I get form, arrow flight, and accuracy (consistency) figured out. You made an excellent learning bow.

Glad there is no shelf. They're for books.

Good job! That's the first one done, the next will be even better. And like Loon said a light bow is great for getting your form right.
