Thanks again!

ty_in_ND, glad you're finding the videos helpful. Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Marc, you made me doubt my memory!  ;D I went back and measured it. It's definitely 62" Must look longer because I'm short.  :P

That explains it.  I'm 6' 2" so a 62" bow looks a bit small in my hands

Seeing gorgeous bows like your's is part of what got me started on the bowyer kick, this really is some top notch work. Additionally, while not necessarily bow related, I must say you always seem to do a spectacular job on the photography of these things as well!

Thanks, Soggydog! Glad I could provide some inspiration. That feels good. As for the pictures. I just snap them with my phone. nothing fancy. I did a little tutorial on bow photography. It's pinned at the top of the bow section.

This is my first post, just wanted to say I've been working on my first bow, having a hard go at it, and your beautiful bow is giving me the inspiration I needed to keep going (even if it breaks). Thanks!

It's great to hear that you're feeling inspired by my bow! I remember starting on this forum about 9 years ago and feeling the same way looking at these guys bows. Sounds like you've got the right attitude. Post your pictures and questions here in this forum and we will help you out. You wont find a nicer bunch.
