Very nice bow, good job. Boys need weapons!

It looks like you made it with the nodes facing outwards, if you had the outside on the belly, it probably would have taken less set.
It's a good bow none the less!

I'm sorry but, I'm sum impressed, You can build a bow like that in 2 hours and I have been working on my BL for months and I'm still not sure what I'm doing. Nice Job.

thanks pappy!
i recently was asked to do a bow-making clinic at the local highschool next semester; the mother of one of those 3 boys from the neighbourhood teaches at that school and organized it.
