Winter project #1 (TG trade bow)

[broketooth]

Slow and steady wins the race, Ranger. Once I hit floor tiller I use nothing but a scraper to tiller the bow. 20 to 30 scrapes, lots of exercising but not beyond draw weight and back to scraping. I put lots of hours doing it this way and since I started doing it this way my bows have come out better.
  Thanks Ruddy.

Way cool bow and build-a-long Pat...  I love the cave paintings and the leather use!!!

Coming from you Roy, that is a compliment!  d;^)
Thanks, Kip.

Gonna be a sweet one Pat. Did taking some mass off the tips reduce the shock?

[Pat B]

I haven't shot it since, Kris. I will shoot her tomorrow. I need to put a lot of arrows through her. I'll get a finish on her soon too.

HOW IN HECK DID I MISS THIS?

Saw mention of it in another post and had to look for it!

A great bow by a great bowyer. I now have it, by some chance.

Thanks again Pat!!

How's she holding up, Kenny. I'm always curious about how my kids are doing! d;^)
 Now you know what she's made of!

Cool build!! To tell the truth, I haven't had much time to shoot any bows.

Maybe when I get my planting all done, I'll have a bit more time.

I plan on taking game with it this year sometime tho!!
