Wow Stellar looking bow! I plan on making a selfbow as soon as I finish my first (Hickory backed Red oak B.B.) But that is a fine looking bow for sure.

That's a really nice first bow.  Perhaps it took a long time, but you should be proud.  Well done.

Killer bow and a great teacher you had. Big Dave knows how to bend wood.

Very nice first bow! Sign of a good mentor and patient student.  :)
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Great work!  It really helps to have a good mentor there in person, and you must have listened!
