Glen, nice looking bow. If you are going to the JLMBH you need to bring it along so we can all be as special as Guru, and see it in person.

I would like to see it at the JLMBH!  I would love to see it shoot.  For some reason I love watching bows bend and launch!

That is a really fine looking bow. When my little guy is a little older he and his big bro and I will start making selfbows.I really want to start making them but with the 4 year old, he is a little too grabby to let him close to the bench and sharp tools.
