Thanks guys! Awesome to see so many entries this time! I am not really into new years resolutions but since I enjoy bow building so much I think a good one is to try and show a new bow here every month! Sorting to the pics of an elm bow I finished last month already so I have january covered ;D

Congrats Leon.  Very talented at this craft. 
One bow a month?!?  I though you were doing a good job of cranking out stellar bows before....

I am usually working on more bows at the same time and do not post all off them here. I also make mistakes sometimes and decided that others can learn from them so I will also post those from now on ;D

That's a good point you made.  I also came to the same realization that I was only showing my successes but kinda hiding all of the flaws and broken bows.  You learn so much when you have a well thought out plan but when the shaving start to fly it doesn't work out.  It's worth sharing those experiences too.
