Very nice Hera! I'd like to see what you could do with an osage orange selfbow stave. I bet you'd be great at it too!

Is it true all your saws cut on the pull stroke instead of the push stroke?

Keep the build alongs coming,,, there are very inspiring!

Both pull and push.

I don't like the limb tip,perhaps I will change it tomorrow.

Hera...what a work of art and dedication!  Your arms must hurt from all the sawing.  I really want to get into this and after seeing this project it makes me want to do it even more.

Keep posting because I think a bunch of people are watching.

Hera:

How long have you been building bows? You definitely have an eye for detail. Great work as always Hera.

I don't have much wood working experience before bow building except for making my own fishing kits. I had been builded 9 bows.
