Thanks everyone. This was not my first attempt I've made a little firewood along the way but I spent a lot of time and patience working on this bow. Did I mention I used only hand tools. I must have 3000 rasp and file strokes into it. It would be so cool to be put in the bow of the month running. Well I have shavings to make so thanks again for all the comments.

Looks pretty good for your first. Its hard to tell from your pictures but the edges of the limb look pretty square to me. I would recommend rounding your edges a bit. Square edges are more apt to pull up a splinter, not to mention rounded edges look much more appealing as well.  8)
