Reworked another one

[Dan Landis]

Greg, great save on that one, the phenolic on the tips really set it off and make a sharp looking bow.  Last spring, while tillering my first attempt at my trade bow, the top limb blew.  I saved the bottom limb and Z spliced it to another bow that blew the top limb also.  Re-shaped the handle and re tillered it to 43# @ 28"  One half is Hophornbeam and the other is mulberry, it turned out to be a pretty sweet shooter.  I gifted it to my brother to get him into trad archery.  Moral of the story, even broken bows still have a chance....Dan

Finally a minute off work!
Greg did a super job on that bow, it is almost unrecognizable from how I received it. Not only does it look good but it shoots great.
I had originally given that bow to Greg to mess around with and did not expect it back. Boy was I surprised!
I have a bucket in the garage with 8-10 bows in it that are not bad enough to throw away but not good enough to finish up.
Someday I`ll give them another go, every now and then I pull one out and look it over.....then put it back.

Beautiful work, great tip on the epoxy putty.

I never used that product before, (Epoxy Putty) but will keep it in mind if the need arises. I did use a product called "JB WELD"  which is mostly used on metal, but worked perfectly on a bow that I had built for my brother in law. The red oak riser needed to be a little thicker.

Nice save!!  I only have one survivor right now, and it's all splintered up under the linen backing and chrysalled on the belly.  Gonna perty it up and make it a decoration if anything:)

Again, very nice work.  Those tips are sweet!
