Ive been following this build and just want to say amazing work and detail.  Very ambitious.  After a move across country I would have given up.  If you moved anywhere near WA state we should meet up.

Haha.  Ya it’s been quite the adventure for sure.  Thanks for your kind words.  After that move I think they will hurry me here.  That was a rough move.  Still getting shop set up now.  Hopefully the next couple months I can get that looking better.  These bows were started as a test as usual on method of construction and to test out a yumi bow construction style.  It worked great so I kept going with it.  Now my goal is to get two good medium to heavier draw weight bows out of them.  I just did the first layer sinew on both and now will let them rest for a couple weeks at least.  I’ll post a video link here of my progress this far.  Sinew went on well and looks good.   Prep work is what takes the time like anything.  Thanks for watching.
