That's a fine looking stick indeed Matt.  I really like how you stitched the leather grip too.  What stitch is that?

Thanks Benedikt.  It's an SOB of a wood,  but a great teacher and learning tool.  It also makes a fin bow :)
Thanks Brad
Thanks Simon. I get the pleaser to call this place home. I find it paradise.
Thanks Parnell
Thanks James can't wait to see the lam bow your working on :)
Thanks Drew, I think it's the blanket stitch.  It's very easy to do and hold like nothing else I've tried.  I'll have to do a how to the next time I do one.
Thanks rsp3
Thanks swamp thing
Thanks Cody

Sweet looking bow.  From the looks of that group, it shoots great too.  Great work.

Thank Dan
Thanks Chuck
Thanks Hammertime.  I still haven't made a rigid handle stave bow.   Only board bows and it's been a while.  I like shooting both.  The bendys are better on the shorter side.  I am working on a few bows right now and one of them is a stiff handle.  I guess I like both equally.
