Well if you ain't breaking ....#2
« on: March 26, 2011, 09:11:00 AM »
well guys just got a little greedy with a design I was working on and snapped it this morning   :(  It was a sweet character bow just added to much reflex and POP!!!    :clapper:

It wasn't the one I was working on it was another walnut that I had. I have about three bows in the works right now. this one I was doing some experiments with heat and a strong reflex design. I just rushed it which is something I normally don't do. thats the first for 2011. Thanks for the kind words

Been there, done that, got one in the making right now.  As longbowhuntr said, it is only wood.  Learning curve is something, isn't it?
