 NIIIICEEE! Even though it came in under weight i bet that's still effective. A well-crafted bow like that, even at lower weight like that, is still an effective weapon!

Nice work Scott.  Tiller on that bow looks smooth.
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

A bunch of other guys said "sweet" so I'll have to use something like "stellar!" Nice work!

Thanks guys.

I originally had a wood handle glued on but it popped off cause of bend in the handle. So I went with laminated leather and it worked great. Not my favorite way to add a handle, but it worked on this bow. Flexes just enough with the bend and feels good in the hand.

Thad, give me a call and we'll get you hooked up. I've got some I can spare.
