Guys like you just piss me off. My first bow looked nothing like that. I definitely wasn't willing to take pictures of it.

Well done!

Nicely done on your first bow! Kenny M is one top notch dude... But your missing the key picture here.... FULL DRAW!... What are the specs on this thing too?

Ignore my ugly mug these are my only full draw pics.

 

 

I had a few hiccups along way but I learned a lot. I hope to start on my second one very soon.

It is 65" ntn (because I layed my template out on the wrong side of the bow) and around 48# at 28"

Thanks guys for the kind words

really good!! and those glue lines look pretty tight too   :thumbsup:  
and like tree top boy said- my first bow didnt look that good- stellar job!
if i can offer one slight improvement- it would be in the arrow shelf and sight window area- if the arrow shelf was kinda humped cup/ curved up so that there is a high point so that the arrow only contacts with a small area, and i do the same on the sight window- it has a convex shape to it, so that only the high point is contacting the arrow.
make sure that both high points correspond with each other- and what i try to do, is get the high points just above the deepest part of my grip- so its NOT the center of the shelf or the window- that helps to be  a bit more forgiving in the case of a poor grip or hand position on occasions- now i never have that problem of course- all my shots are perfect- just what i have been told   :laughing:

It's hard to make a wooden bow which isn't beautiful, even if it's ugly.

Thanks again for kind comments.I owe it all to the info I have received from this forum. I really appreciate all the build alongs they were invaluable for filling in all the gaps in the bow making process.

Hey underpowred
