Here is my latest, also made from figured walnut. I've also added a draw force curve and would like some opinions on what that chart reflects.
Thanks!

Hopefully I'll get the hang of it. In the mean time I'll keep building bows. Or attempting too.

That is some beautiful walnut.  I wouldn't want to let go of it either.     :)
I like your accent strip, too.  Is it wood?  Phenolic?
It's hard to make a wooden bow which isn't beautiful, even if it's ugly.

The accent strip I used in this one was curly maple. The way I cut and ground it you can't see the first curl as I had planned, but still turned out nice.
And I'm trying with mobile device to upload the pictures. I am very lost when it comes to computer/phone stuff.

And thank you for getting my picture up! Maybe I'll get the hang of it.

I was using a phone with no luck.

If Roy did it on his PC, then anybody can do it.   :laughing:

I use an iPad... Go to the pic you want there will be a circle at the bottom of the pic with an i in it,click that and the next page it'll give you the option to chose how to upload the pic... Pick the bottom one IMG after that it should say copied then just past it here. Nice bow by the way! This is a nice blacktail rattler I got last year. I forgot to add this is with photobucket.
