Good use for a broken bow.

I found a new use for a broken bow. I made a bow rack out of the ERC bow I was working on, after it violently blew up. It will hold my good bows for years to come. I bet its sorry it decided to blow up in my face!!!
This will be a reminder to me of the ups and downs for bow building. I hope you guys enjoy this.

JJ: I have been wanting to try to make an atlatl.I'm sure I'll have more broken bow limbs to use as the thrower....

Yeah, that'll teach it, and it will be a lesson to the other bows to behave themselves.
