Wow I can see why people like board bows, that string is almost perfectly center the whole length of the bow, how long did it take to find a board with straight grain like that?

When people ask "why didn't you do that the first time" you can be sure that they  have never made a bow before.

Good job, Terence! I gotta try some of that hackberry some time!
