Was wondering how the bow has been doing? it looked really nice as they tend to do. Years ago I had a friend that built one and then used a sinew backing on it. He was pretty old then and then moved so we lost touch but he loved that bow.

Bow is braced. Need to build a tillering board. This piece is not a beginner piece and am saving it for when I go to clay Hayes bow building class. Still quite heavy.

You're still scheduled for that! I'd forgotten, with all this pandemic scare going around. BTW, it's good to see you back. We've missed you! (and the adventures of your cute kids!) :D

very cool, you should have a blast and end up with what you want in a bow. a man could learn a lot with Clay
