Fantastic first bow.
This would be spectacular if it was your 20th bow! :)

High Praise indeed guys, but really it was alot of head scratching and a lot of down time between steps as I didn't want to ruin it.
I'm not one to only say "Good Enough"! I believe in old school craftsmanship and doing the best you can.

Me too - First bow? :o, wow, don't know how some of you guys pull it off. My first several were destined to become kindling and so they did, next several just lay around limply in the dark corners of the house. Fine lookin bow!!

My first bow was amost that exact style--I even used Teak.  My nocks sure weren't that nice though :o.  Come to think of it--the whole bow wasn't that nice.  Man, you really should be proud of that.  You did an excellent job.

Guys thank you for agreeing with what i have been trying to tell him.  He was not going to even post any pics because he was not satisfied with the outcome.  I think this thing is a work of art and shoots realy well.  Of course that could be the archer as well but I doubt it.

Eastern i told you this was a great bow and it being your first and working as well as it does..........  Well you should be proud of yourself.

Very nice work.  I told you you have talent.

Yep, looks like you did an excellent job. If that's your first, I'm sure looking forward to seeing your twentieth :)
