I echo the above sentiments counseling patience. The verse from the Bowyer's Bible that has led my feet on the narrow path involves the bucket of cold water. Keep that 5 gallon bucket close by and any time you think you are ready to speed up and really get something done...go soak yer head!
Oh, and learn to professionally sharpen all your tools. In my shop if I don't feel a little pang of fear when I reach for a tool then the tool is not ready to go to work. My first (of many) underweight bows was when I was leaning heavily on a dull spokeshave while maniacally chanting, "I'll show YOU, stoopid tool!"
But the most important piece of advise will no longer do you any good. Don't start making bows, it's addictive.
