well my first bow is broken. i learn a lot and felt i got better as went on. have already bought a new board and rough it out and glue on the handle. can't wait for the glue to dry and get started on shaping the handle. this is the most fun i ever had with my clothes on!

If you don't keep your clothes on.... please don't post pics as a build a long!! :D
I understand you can't wait for the next step in the bow building process (ie.. the glue to dry). I was the same way but as is often remined on here...GO SLOW!! :)
