New Elk bow

[mlsthmpsn]

64" bow off of one of Kenny's forms. This is the 2nd one I've made, with Yimbo's help. This one came in well above the target of 55# after roughing out the limbs.   (Thanks Kenny! )

I got the limbs down closer to final widths, and the riser worked out a fair bit. Down to 57.5# now, with a bit of shaping and rounding left to go.

I did some roughing out on the tip overlays quick this morning but didn't think to take any pics of that.

Should have some more done tonight and will take some more images for you guys.

Got some done on  the overlays after reading to the kids and getting everyone in bed.

I like taking pictures of these because you can compare them easily... See just the slightest difference I  the first two?  (that I hadn't noticed until the first picture was taken)

Gotta bit more to take off the top to even them out, the   bunch more to get them pared down.

Getting there grasshopper!

Very nice!
If you want to get it down to your target of 55#, I think you'd have no problem getting there by just rounding the edges of the limb good.
