I don't think that form will warp. I also like his riser sanding jig.
NO matter where you go there you  are !

Going to be a good looker.  I like that riser block jig.  May have to look into something like that since that seems to be the hardest part for me.

Holy jumping is that nice!! I was going to post some pics of my first longbow, but after seeing this and some of the other bows on here, i just can't as my craftsmanship is terrible in comparison.

Bow man

Any bow you build your self is worth posting. We had the help of an experienced Bowyer on this and he had all the tools
