i fixed the bow, well, somewhat. i still got to thin down the tips and sand, steelwool, tung oil it and so on. i showed it to my dad today, and he absolutly loves it. if it comes out good enough im gonna give it to him. i know it aint the best, but he has been wanting one, so it will be a decent starter bow for him. he is an amazeing hunter, so he can make up for the flaws in the bow. his birthday is the third, so it will be about a week late. this bow will work for him till i can get somewhere in the general area of being a decent bowyer, then give him a good one. dunno what im gonna do about arras though. dowl rods good for a 60 lb draw?
