Wow first bow? Very nice work keep it up. Now you need to make 50 more :-)
Really nice, beats my first bow by a mile!!!
Looks great especially for your first.
That is a beauty! Congratulations. Jawge
really nice- interresting how you have moved the lace up to the side- was that because it was bugging you under your fingers?

fujimo, I put it that way from the start. lol It would have drove my OCD wild to have it under my fingers
Very nice! It took me two tries to get a shooter and three tries to get one I could hunt with. :thumbsup:
Dave.
Very nice. Looks better than my 3rd, 4th, 5...
Very nice. Thanks for sharing.
You are all very kind. Thank you. I feel that I was very lucky with my first bow, I literally found the "perfect piece of wood". I sent a pic of the board to Sam Harper of poorfolkbows and he said, "you might not even have to back it". Yeah Right! I was soo scared the whole time, I ended up going so slow. lol that made me worry too because ppl say that could impact the tiller.
Looks nice!
Great job well done.
