Thanks, Frank and Pappy. I appreciate it.

You know, this was probably the most fun bow I've attempted to date. Maybe I had less expectations with so many challenges in that sapling, and as the bow formed, it became really exciting.

Time to start a new bow!

Thats a neat bow, you really got a nice tiller out of it considering the knots and snakey nature of it.

A very nice bow  out of a challenging piece of wood.  Always wanted to make a bow out of a maple sapliing.  Have inlaws in NH so may get a chance to  one day.
