Great looking bow! On page 2, you mention a pattern sander. Is this a sanding drum similar in theory to a flush cut bit or are you referring to the belt sander pictured? Thanks for the buildalong. Brett

Awesome work Mark, one problem, the arrow rest is on the wrong side.
The best made plan won't get it made the way you planned.

It turned out really nice, by the way what was the final draw weight, and did you get that twist out of it.

I like just about all of them. But my personal favorites are zebra wood, walnut, Macassar ebony , cocobolo just to name a few.

I bought a piece of Macassar ebony the other day.
Looks pretty cool.
