good job man! Ive got a sweet spot for hickory, and the craftsmanship is just great! welcome from the dark side!

i actually lost my compound, it was laying under some staves in my garage, and one day, it just disappeared!

Pretty humiliating, I'd say and bookmarked under August Self Bows of the Month.  Thanks for the post.

Very Well done even if it would be your 20th bow. I could only dream of such a bow when I started.

Great job with exceptional tiller for a first. The only advice I would give for your second is to round off the corners of your handle. Square handles don't fit the hand as well as rounded ones do.

I missed this one also. Very nice tiller. It took me almost 10 years to get a decent first bow!  ;D   Pat

Thanks for all the nice compliments! On my second bow I have already started to round the handles much more. The feathers are attached using a barrel clasp for a necklace, I got the feathers just the way I wanted then stuck them in and super glue did the rest. I just tied them to the handle using the extra leather lace that was left over.
