Well now that I have the right forum ill try agian...  I finished up my first bow,  Red Oak board bow 66" nock to nock, no scale but I would say its around 40# @28"...

 

 

 

more to follow...

There she is... fell free to tear it apart,  afterall it is a learning process....

Don't sell yourself too short Jarrod, why would anybody tear that apart?
I think you did an awesome job on your first bow. How's it shoot? That's the important thing, if you hit what your lookin at.
 

Don't tear it apart. Look at it as a foundation that will be built on. I know for myself I am most critical of my own work, I always see the flaws. I figure most of us are the same way.

I agree with Semo Hunter. Awesome job for first bow. It will get better and better.    

Looking good and tiller looks fine. Bue--.

tiller is spot on. looks great. don

Tiller looks very good!

Nice Job Jerrod, never know that was your first one iffen ya didn't tell us so.  Keep up the good work.

Tom

thanks guys...  I had a hard time with the tiller it semed the bottom was a little stiff I felt like  I was taking to much off so I got to a point and said.. thats it...


It shoots great feels nice and smooth,  it supprised me on the velosity of the arrow cast.

Now off to the thinking tank, I want to make one for my daughters birthday in june.....

You did a great job.I really like your handle design.

You got the tiller right, thats the hardest thing to get right and you got it on your first shot, fine rig you made.

Don't mean to jump on the band wagon but I'm with everybody else.  Its a good looking bow.  Tiller looks great.  I think my first had a hinge in each limb and ended up cracking so congrats.

I'm not a board bow guy, but I can recognize nice looking work.

First?  Wow very nice job  

thanks agian guys, I couldnt have done it with out all the quality information I used as reference on this site.....
