Nice job on that one Chris.  I didn't think you remembered how to make a standard flatbow
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Very cool bow, Chris. Nothing wrong with a simple American flatbow.

Nice Hawkster.  I like the simplicity of its looks.  The profile looks fast.

Sweet-bending piece of sage right there.
"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

My favorite style bow to shoot and build! Nice tips and tiller !

Another sweet one, BH. I sure would like to have seen the learning curve you went through finding out that magic thickness on those tips. Did you keep taking some off till one day...POP!?!...then say oops too much?
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

Thanks Kenny...I've only had one snap its tips off because it was way to narrow(lost lateral stability)and not because of thickness issues,and that was early on in my tip reduction experimentation...I could brace n half draw the bow but could clearly see if I drew more it was going to snap... so I did a video of me yanking on it for fun knowing full well what was gonna happen...sure enough...boom she went..lol :laugh:

Yes Greg you can touch my wood ::)  :laugh:
