Get your school work done. You can build bows either after school or on weekends. You are hooked now so you're gonna build 'em anyway.  ;) ;D 8)  Pat

Excellent bow! It took a real nice stain too, tiller looks spot on to me :). Wish my fist ones were that nice ;D. And the secret for about thinking about bows in school- draw them in a notebook so you can see how you want it to turn out ;)

I'm working on my first red oak board bow at home. Hopefully mine will turn out as good as yours!

It didn't break. You must've done something right.
:D

It's real pretty.

I'd say great job, if more people took 3 months and took their time they'd come out with successful bows, but since we're human we have to rush things to get instant satisfaction. You made a really nice bow.

Good job. Drywall tape for backing is pretty clever. Bookmarked, too, for Sept Self Bow of the Month
