Now that's a fine second bow, still a little quare and blocky, so were mine when I started. Keep up the great work.

Nice finish, good attention to detail. Justin

Dang dude that came out awesome. You should be real happy. The nocks and tip overlays look great. The stiching on the grip looks really nice. Nice work Aaron. I like the limb profile. Nice and narrow at the tips.

I like the shape of your bow. Looking forward to the full draw! I just finished my second bow too - a Boo & IPE. Now I want to do a holmgard, and a paddle bow, and a horsebow, and a take down, and a ... ;D

Hey Aaron that came out really nice, Looking forward to the full draw.

Thanks everyone for the props and critiques. The writing on it says Apotter but the lower part of the p came out a little light . The handle is a little too narrow to round and it is really comfortable in my hand. As you can see in the full draw it is alittle stiff near the handle but I'm not going to rework any more on it. It shoots great and I am really happy with it. Knocker, I was thinking of a homgard for my wife. I have a couple staves and will be getting some more tommorrow. A tornado went through part of town Sunday and I have access to the mother load of free wood! ;D

I am new at this, and I am sure others better qualified will chime in, but I think you nailed it on the head. A bit stiff near the handle. I think you have the right attitude, enjoy what you have done and start thinking on what you are going to do next! ;D Don't hesitate to post photos as you go, as I know a lot of us benefit from the feedback, and it makes you go s l o w e r which is probably a good thing. I am sure it is for me anyway!
