Tillering Gizmos for St Jude
« on: March 21, 2023, 05:43:57 PM »
I got in fancy tillering gizmo mode a few weeks ago, I made up 7 to raise money for St Jude. I have two left, I have already shipped 5 off for donations to St Jude over at the PA site, one guy was extra generous and donated $50 each for three of them, I raised $190.

The are spalted wood laminated to a hard wood core. Roy even gave me the spalted wood for the lighter colored one. Spalted wood is fairly soft and needs the reinforcement of the core wood. The spalted wood in these has been soaked with superglue to toughen it up a bit.

I will call the lighter one, gizmo #1, the darker one gizmo #2

If you want one of these say "I want gizmo#1 or #2" in the comment section below.

A $20 donation to St Jude and it will be headed your way, I pay the shipping. Don't make a donation before sending me a PM saying which one you want to make sure it is still available.

If you are first in line, I will tell you so. You make the donation, I will give you a link by PM, give me the donation confirmation number and your address, the gizmo will be headed your way.

I added another picture of the darker one as its beauty is hard to see behind the lighter one and slightly out of focus.

Strange, I always print out just the right number of instruction sheets to send with the gizmos, I put them in the envelope first and insert the gizmo between the folded instruction sheets. I will put one in the mail for you.

Eric, sorry never looked inside the envelope as the gizmo slid right out. Dug envelope out of garbage and found the instructions inside. Thank you again.

I have 1 dozen cedar gizmo lot on the St Jude auction, page 3.

They are just like these but a dozen of them.

Eric,

Thanks for helping raise donations for St. Jude’s.

I love and use the Gizmo on most every selfbow I make.  Also, I give one to most of my selfbow students when they start tillering their first bow. I am down to the really nice ones I got from you; they do not leave my Archery room. 
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.
