amazing work !! wow !! im thinking of building one myself also .. do you have to respect a certain distance between the nut and the bridge ?

[nastyolddog]

Yo harlock0 this Bow is 85cm long

i messured the distance of a Guitar fret board

then the rest was a comfort thing

i placed the bridge ie can,,,, so it would sit

with my hand to rest on ,

85cm long was a good length to sit on my lap")
