Been following this one.  I'm a new bowyer, and board bows have been a great, quick, way to get me into making bows.  Thanks for sharing this one, might make me consider a potential board I might have otherwise thought was too narrow.

[George Tsoukalas]

Aaron, you certainly can try that narrow board. The experience will be good.

The board I used was special. Very straight grained and I wanted poundage in the low 40s anyway.

When you work on yours keep is it simple is may advice. No added  handle pieces and   let the handle bend.

More on my site including a nice straight grained board.

good to see you making a bow again George. Looks great.

[George Tsoukalas]

Thanks, ErictheViking. I actually am still working on the handle. I had to make sure the edges were glued nice and tight. Tomorrow I'll treat the leather with a waterproof leather concoction I bought years ago. Jawge

Just though I would bring this to the top, this will be his last bow, for those that haven't heard he passed a few day ago.Great guy who will be missed by many.

So sorry to hear about his passing. He was such a positive guy and very helpful to so many bowyers. praying for Jawge’s loved ones. He will be missed.

So sorry to hear about George’s passing. He was a very inspirational to many on this and other sites. He will be missed greatly. Prayers sent on behalf of George, and for his family.

Sorry to hear George is gone. He´s one of the few people I remember from Paleoplanet when I started making bows a long time ago. Very kind fellow dedicated to teaching.

What a loss.  Rest easy, Jawge.
