BBO coming along nicely
« on: May 19, 2012, 11:33:00 PM »
I have a 64" BBO to 50 lbs at 24". This bow was an osage 1" x 2" with some runouts. I ripped a 1/4" slice off then ran both through the planner. I swapped ends so the runouts would be supported. I then glued the two Osage pieces back together with some reflex in the tips.

The tip over lays and grip section are kingwood. I have some final tillering to do and the grip will be ready to shape.

Pics when I get her to the shooting stage.
