Airkah I'm betting that ugly red oak board bow was beautiful the first time you shot it. ;)

Sagebrush, thanks. I don't make them at the pace I used to, but I'll hopefullu post a couple more the next few months.

Bjrogg, yes it was! I probably got 200-300 arrows through it before I was too worried about the cracks modlimb breaking on it to draw it again. It was too beautiful for me to let it break. The best thing it did for me was give me the hope I'd eventually make something I'd be able to shoot for years. I think it marked the end of the real steep learning curve for me, after that I started going a bit wider on the red oak boards and started havig some more success. I haven't done a red oak board in awhile, but I really have a fondness for them... they'll let you know if the tillering is off but treat you well if you do it correctly.

Yup. My ugly ash one took me where it needed to. It's hanging on my presentation pole now. It's really interesting looking back in time once in awhile.

I'm intrigued you've been at it this long and hadn't post.  You must be a very patient person. 
Very nice work on your bow and glad to see you on PA.

(Attention all Admins and Moderators: Who keeps letting these incredibly talented new people in? How is the "Olde Guard" supposed to keep up with THIS???)

Now that these talented young bowyers are present the "Olde Guard" can step back and rest a bit...  ;)

Great job on the bow Erika and welcome to the Forum.  :OK
