You guys have insane patience.  I have it for hunting, but if I were to do this sort of thing I'd have a pile of toothpicks.

I've got a snaky Vine Maple bow that roughed out and been waiting for a year for me to begin working on.  It was a wonderful piece of wood that was hanging out horizontally... so, after being cut, has some NICE, natural reflex built into it.  It sat in a form while drying for nearly a year... just need to get back into working on 'em again.


Looks like a very nice build. Tyhat is a really fast bow btw
I made a bow with vine maple and it wasn't easy but a fun project. I used it for a year and ened up breaking on a pig hunt. I like working with osage orange and locust more. You'll have fun though. Post pics when finished

I have a hunk of Black Locust in the driveway too.
