Great looking bow!  Looks like it shoots good and is very quiet from the video. Nice job!

Yeah breazy it was a scratch.  Thanks guys for the props. I had a blast on this one and still have something to show for the work. I love the tillering process on the all woods but I don't have access to good wood for a quality product. This method is not idiot proof but it is forgiving so I think I'll stick with glass for a bit. Besides, I think I prefer a method that calls it "wood with character" rather than "grain violated junk" lol (no offense Roy)!

That turned out well.  I wonder why more people don't use walnut veneers.  It's pretty.

Thanks Sam!

I only used it because it was the prettiest of what I had. I think it looks nice also. I will be using it again but I want to get creative and mix it with some other wood to make some really interesting veneers.

I also want to say as a side note..

Thank you for your web site and all the information that you give freely. Your free information is one of the main things that inspired me to start building bows and I couldn't have gotten started without your tutorials..again..THANK YOU!!

You're welcome.  I'm glad it helped.
