You are an inspiration to anyone building a board bow Bub. Your work is second to none.

So far these are the only two I've posted. I haven't done many board bows though I have done alot lately because I have no dry staves. I think I've done four board bows total. http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,38445.msg510470.html#msg510470

All very nice bows! Keep them coming! I'm thinking of an white oak board maybe a Eiffel Tower style tips! Stiff handle! Thanks for all the post so far.
