Hopefully my first successful bow (last attempt was some random unidentified log that died an early death).
This is my first attempt at a board bow, and I'm starting with a 72" red oak board from Home Depot ($12). The rings are a little tighter than I wanted, but it was the only one I could find with straight grain. I'll be stringing it with b50 dacron.
I'm going to use a pyramid design like in TBB II, Bows from Boards, aiming for something in the 35-45# range at 30".
Also, I discover anew that getting good pics of grain is a pain in the neck.
