Re: Elk Seeker longbow build
Very nice Tom!!
I am however still coveting your shop and tools. I was drooling as you moved from the bandsaw to the spindle sander, then finally to rasp and file. A far cry from my moving from hacksaw to rasp and file. Jokes aside though, you are building one fine looking bow!

That's a beauty indeed.
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.
