really nice- interresting how you have moved the lace up to the side- was that because it was bugging you under your fingers?

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.
