At top left is the arrow rest and you can see the nock bead on the string on the right side of the bow.

On saturday I drove to Mooreland, Indiana to pick up 19 staves of wood from a person whose ebay auction I won. I won them for only $30. Often you could pay $30 or more for just one stave. I got a good deal. Here is the picture from the ebay auction.

I'll have to let these pieces season for a year before I work on them, but it's safe to say I won't need to buy any wood for a long time.

you left out the part where you rammed my truck into my table saw, damaging them both.
I am happy you got them for $30, I remember you were willing to pay $100. I would like a hand crafted bow. I will pay $30 which will cover the cost of all your woodie sticks.
Fooie, I figured you'd want to blog about that and I didn't want to steal your thunder.
Bleach, I will make you a bow. I'm trying to get Fooie to make one with my assistance.
you always wreck my truck you lummox.
making a bow is on my list of things to do this year. it is item #1042.
I like shooting your bows. the best is when i miss and it hits something else random in your basement. I also like shooting at things close up.
I think you should make a long bow next, like a 6-8' tall one.
The only bows I've used are self bows that my brother or I made. I would like to put recurves in a self bow sometime.
I'll check our your website.
