Really cool project, Josh. Jsut be careful your bow doesn't turn on you and chase you into oblivion. Hubris will be your downfall, Herr Doktor. :)

Are the arrows going to be half boo and half cedar split down their length?  ::)

Thanks everybody, hopefully I can post the finished bow this weekend.  Del, I probably am not gonna make any arrows yet for this one I have a few that fly great from it but I DID make a dandy key chain with one of the other limb tips!   I am trying to salvage everything I can from the two broken bows.   :)  -josh

Thanks for spotting it. I hope this bow can stand arctic conditions.

Okay, never actually read the novel, but my wife teaches it in her gothic literature course, so I know the storyline.

Josh, make sure you have a couple of bolts in the handle. lol. And maybe make it green.

Thanks for the kind gesture, Rich but I bought the board from a hardwood sawmill and cut the blank out of it myself.  I don't think the hardwood place will refund me the money because they sell the boards for decking I think.  Can't really hold them responsible since they weren't selling it as bow wood.   ;) But thank you that was really kind!   :) -josh
