Really nice bow John, thanks for the build along! I think there's a selfbow build in my future!

Well after many hours of work, and final finish with wrap and strike plate, she blew on final shoot-in. I don't know what happened. Bummed :(

Sad to hear it John. I'm doing the final tiller on a mulberry bow that has me worried about the same thing.

Hell man. Don't worry. It's just wood and time. May you have surplus of both

Good advice, John. I have more wood than time these days along with my usual shortage of patience.

One thing I have learned: no more staves with big @%#&ing humps on the back for me. :mad:

Thanks for the post. I learn a lots from it. I have a dogleg piece of maple that I was wondering how to straighten, and mark the center. Now I know!

Oh no! I just saw that she blew. Been there too. You handled it well. Jawge
