Tell us about your bow. If it has fiberglass in it we'll have to post it on "Around The Campfire".

Is it a takedown or 1 piece?
How did you attached the limbs to the riser?

That's slick. I see how attached the riser.

the limbs are attached with little bolts but they are not seen. because I covered them by the mixture of glue and wood dust

  That takes me back.  My first dozen or o bows were R/D bamboo backed bamboo flooring and wood bows, mounted on a riser just like that, but smaller like a longbow would be.  Just an all wood copy of the fiberglass R/D longbows that were coming on in popularity back in the late 80's.

  She looks great.  Your design choices all seem very sound.  Good job.

Being 22 is irrelevant, one of the best builders on here is misslemaster, and i believe he's 22-23
