My first self bow...

[mike mccaw]

Okay guys,here is my first attempt at a self bow,i appologize for not having pics from start to it's current state,but to b quite honest,i thought it would b splinters by now,or messed up being it was my first.The bow is  from a hickory stave,dried in my atic for about a year,then i went to work on it.the first few pics are the roughed out bow,then a couple after the limbs were tapered,early stages of tillering.It's still under construction,and will post more pics when it's complete.

Good to see a fellow Kentuckian on here.  I am also in the process of my first hickory self bow.  I got it all roughed out and am finishing up my drying box right now.

Can't wait to see some pictures.Nothing like you first,especilly if it's a shooter and not fire wood.
