Beautiful work as always Blackhawk. With the size of those tip I am not suprised it's fast, those things are much more narrow than I have ever dared...

That's a sweet looking piece of lumber! Nice work. It goes to show that a good stain and finish can make a board look sharp.

Sounds and looks like a great bow. Is it how I am looking at it, or are those levers bending some?

Great job Chris, looks like it would spit arrow.  Love those tips, next bow I do I'm going to try to thin them up some,  Can you offer any tips to help my learning curve?
Thanks

Since you are a board bow guy now why don't you make me a deal on your stave stash  ;D


Seriously though, that is about the nicest "bored" bow I have ever seen.  Those tips are crazy thin.

Looks so much better as a bow than it would have as door casing. You did the right thing by getting that wood out of the house. Smooth looking bow Chris, I like that baby.
