What I have been working on

[Crooked Stic]

I have had it in my head to do a glass sleeve wrap takedown. I finaly got around to it. First I did a dummy riser just to see if it would work for me.This project takes a lot of time. First shaping the grip then releiving wood to put the wrap on. I made two jigs-one for cutting the bow in two and another for wrapping the glass and carbon. Anyhow here are a few pics of how it turned out.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Now the real bow. About the only thing I done different on it was using the table saw to remove the wood from the sides instead of rasping by hand.

That's something I've been wanting to do my self but haven't been able to gather the courage to cut a good bow in half.

Nice work, I've also been wanting to do that just haven't gotten the courage up yet, soon thought.

Yeah cutting a perfectly good bow in two kinda makes you think HUH

That's pretty cool! What did you use as a release agent on the bottom part?

Nice I've done a few sockets like that.  They come out nice and make for a nice travel bow.  


David big jim sells it as a kit and it comes with the release agent ink carbon glass and epoxy resign.

Very nice. I always wanted to do something like that, but never had the guts to cut a well working bow in half.
