She Looks pretty good to me. Hope my 1st one turns out that good.
Great lookin bow. Too bad you put the rest on the wrong side. :biglaugh:
Good job karrow,
I to just finished my 1st red oak board bow, I still have one more rip of salvaged oak. Hope to up my weight some. What was your limb thickness?,you think its your 2"limbs compared to my 1 3/4 limbs? and you are a bit shorter then I am. I'm only two lbs under you but i'm at a 30" draw.
Again super job I do like the purple hart handle
Take care, Crg
Good job!

i am approx a 1/2inch thick at the fades all they way to mid limb and the tips measuer approx 3/8. so you can go from there. im not sure how heavy of a bow you can expect out of a board. good luck and keep us informed
and thanks to all for the praise
Good job.
I especially like the look of pride and admiration of the people looking on in the fourth photo down. ;)
