Yeah James and I are talking through this one. It’s gonna get finished. Might need to do a board bow first or may just finish it.
I did take some pics of it last night.

Looking good Dave. Can't wait to see it finished.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Looking good Dave!

Like Kirk said, nice to see you back. I bet you have been one busy guy with everything going in your area and rest of the country right now. Not to mention the home and family life.
I haven't had it in me to even try and build a bow since I built the one I made for you. 😕

Dimensions? Is that a rounded belly? , flat imo spreads out the compression way better.
