That's a great first bow Dave.  My first bows were board bow made using info from the internet.  That was before I found this website.  These guys are great resources.  Use them, they seem happy to help.  At only 15 you have a long bow building career ahead of you...enjoy it.

Thanks Dano im a little electronically challenged.. The wood is red oak board from my good friend Lowes. (which is also the riser)
I really havent found a distributor of other woods..

I wanted to try something new so i backed it with *gasp* brown paper bag.. I really dont have the supplies for this sort of thing i just wanted to test the theory
i do think it turned out a little light.. any theories on how to keep some of the weight during tillering?
Thanks guys!
