Hey guys,
   First off i would like to thank my friend Ben who let me use his shop to build this bow and taught me everything about building glass bows. I learned alot through this process and it was more than i could have ever learned reading books. The bow is still in the rough and still needs to be sanded and shaped. Anyway its a 64" ntn R/D longbow 52# @28". I cut and ground all the lams for this bow which taught me alot. It has a shedua riser, bamboo core with birdseye maple front and back under clear glass. I didn't want to get real detailed for my frist one but i think its coming along well. Like i said i still have to add my overlays and do some more shaping just thought i would share some pics. Please let me know if you have any tips since this is my first one. Thanks

Adam

The most frightening thing you are likely to encounter in nature is yourself.

That's looking like a real winner, so far.
