   Thank you Chuck.
   This is not my first bow(this is my first ``seems to be`` shootable bow) , i made 2 but even if i have good knowledge about making primitive and composite bows it is quite different to practice it, so my first two were assymetrical.It is true, after one tries to make hisown bow it is like some infection, am sure i will never stop. Though i prepared myself for years and years but i started to realize my wishes after i get married, i got big support from my wife, not only about bows but everything.It is very difficult to me cause i am lack of good bow bench but will solve this problem.About shafts, i always use wood rasp though your way is better and faster.About boards, some guy that works with wood just splitted some elm and i need to assist him cutting boards soon.Thank you for support.
   Wish you good luck and all the best to you and yours, God bless you

   Zoki I know very little about Serbia. Do you live in a rural area? Is it easy to get supplies such as glue or epoxies, string material, feathers, and such? I started shooting a recurve in 1974, at that time archery was very popular (not primitive archery though). You could buy archery supplies almost anywhere. Today you mostly have to order materials. There is a large Outdoor Sports store a mile from my house (Bass Pro), they sell many archery supplies for compounds, but nothing for traditional archery. Good luck with the Elm. I look forward to seeing your bows on PP. Best regards, Chuck S.
