So guys, Barry was too nice not to mention the biggest mistake in this bow. It was made by me, not him. He was wanting a draw weight closer to
#62. I really blew the calculations! I convinced him he'd like it even more as he got older!
We had a great time and Barry made this bow with small under powered tools. He was very patient filling and sanding the wenge time after time. It's his new favorite wood! Probably could have knocked a week or more off finish time with a less porous wood.
Be looking for more of his work soon!
