The bow looks good to me. I'm still in awe over you catching a sasquatch, even though he's an old one, and teaching to draw your bow. Now that's impressive!

another newbie question, but what does BBO mean??  I really like that bow and would like to make one like it.  I just finished making an oak board bow from 4est trekkers build along and would like to try something new!  appreciate the pics, it looks fantastic!

Nice lookin' bow, Roy. I'm finishing up my fourth HBO this week with one more glued up and rasped into a blank. I'm waiting on my bamboo to dry a little longer but plan on tying one of those BBO bows similar to yours.  I'll have lots of questions once I get started.
Good job!  :thumbsup:
