Looking real good Kenny!!! Can not wait to see it when you are finished.

I promise I'll get it finished! That plain handle is agreeing with my shootin,can't work on it for shootin it!! It may be worn out before I give it to him!! LOL

Seriously,I shoot a plain handle like that waay better than I do the bow I built last year for me,with finger groove,thumbrest,recurve handle and all that!! Not knockin that stuff,thats just me!

[Cupcake]

Well.

Stop shooting and get some finish on that thing so you can start another.      

BTW, what do you like for finish?  I am trying to find a local source for catalyzed varnish or epoxy.  In California it is not always easy to get the "good stuff".

My next one is on the drawing board but I have not made up my mind on limb wood to go with Bocote.

It is looking very nice, your son has a good eye.
