Great stuff.......
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

This is probably one of the greatest pic threads I've seen on tradgang. I'm quite jealous. All of these bows look fantastic.

Man, that's a sharp bow.  Love the strung up profile.  I hope to make that design on my next bow.
