Just couldn't leave well enough alone.I toasted the belly yesterday.I will let it set and rehydrate a few days and we'll see what happens.Hopefully I didn't burn the toast.LOL.This is my first attempt at toasting and not really sure what I'm doing.

Sorry it has been so long since the last instalment.

I toasted the belly and let set a few days. It didn't recover any wait but it did get some relex back.It also took out some of the twist.The string tracks off center but makes it closer to a center shot bow.S-m-o-o-t-h drawing. Almost as sweet to shoot as Whatchamacallit. [bigsmyl]

Gave her a coat of linseed oil and now in the process of coating with tru-oil.I have 2 of 4 coats so far. I will take some pics later.

Toasting sure gives a nice camo effect. Too bad it's on the belly.LOL. But I don't dare toast the back. [Embarrassed]

Looking forward to seeing finished pics, partner.

Well done! Um, not that you overcooked it, but - oh never mind!!! [tunglaff]

I figured that it was over cooked. But it didn't seem to hurt it either. Just finished steaming the yew for 2 1/2 hrs and it's now on the caul. [bigsmyl]

Linc, good for you. Congratulations. i've found that when the string tracks off center I'm better off shooting from the "non center shot" side. It's easier on my forearm. Jawge

Jawge,You have a point there.But I always seem to have a problem with string slap on these low braced bows.

Even better in person, and that's saying a lot, since the pics themselves are terrific. Seriously nice bow. Feather light, perfect balance in the hand. 10 out of 10, Linc.

Thanks Terry,Dano and Tim. Finished up at 62 1/2" ntn. 45#@28" I had thought about playing around with it to gain weight but desided to leave well enough alone.With the windchecks and ring separation it just wouldn't take any more strain without blowing IMHO. [bigsmyl]
