How long did it take you to build?

We worked on it for a couple of weeks on my days off along with getting a couple of other bows done. Fron start to finish it takes about 3 days because of the three different glue ups.

You super-talented do-it-yourselfers need to stop posting pictures of your masterfully built bows.  Now I need to go home and throw my bows into the chipper.  See what you gone and did?

Can anybody post a picture of a crappy homemade bow and help begin the process of restoring my self-image?
