 Oh dear, my first bow had 4 inches of set.. my next 4 cooked hotdogs... well done sir. I don't see too much firewood in your future.  That well tillered stick will look good on the wall and in the woods.

Mighty fine start. I was suprised you were able to work that stave as soon as you did. Looks like you did it justice. We will look forward to seeing what else you come up with.

Great bow! My first bow was terrible...and it is still hit and miss.
I'm also from Pa., 40 miles south of Pittsburgh.
