horseapple......Great job        You are definitely an artist (pronounced "ar-teest")   :D     Can't wait to see how it turns out.

[Timo]

Thanks for the lessons!  

[Dano]

JD,

This is superb! Pictures are worth a thousand words, and your pics are great.  Keep up the good work.

J.D. I kinda get the picture but I had heard at one time that you should leave the tips a bit wide at first and narrow them later. Maybe that was on a recurved selfbow, I can't remember. You got any guidelines like that?

[Doug Campbell]

JD,

Great post and pictures but you sure kept me up late last night     Thanks a bunch

Ya could be a redneck if.....yur dancin' boots an yur church boots both say redwing on the little tag.   ;-)

Nice job JD.  How are you gonna wrap the handle?  You gonna do it online for us?  You must eat up a lot of belt sander belts.  You butcher deer with that thing too?

[horseapple]

just got a break from my real job:)  yes Tom my tips are 3/4" when I first bend them and after I get the bow bending on the tillering string to about 5" brace height, then I narrow the tips to around 1/2"
John, yep I'm gonna show the process I go thru to get the leather handle wrap, also tip overlay work... hows the tiller look to you guys?

Looks perty much dead nuts to me JD but what do I know.  I'm like 700 and sumpin bows behind you.  That right fade catches my eye for some reason.  Picture is just too poor to make any sense of it.  Maybe a shadow or something.  How about a daylight full draw once she's all smoothed off and gussied up.

i heard horseapple is staying up late at night working on this build along. he put a tent in his shop and thats were he is sleeping. i hope he don't freeze to death its getting cold in ok at night. just kidding. he is doing a great job!! keep up the good work. cant wait until more pics

[Glasspoint]

Thanks for the look inside your head    !

[John Sturtevant]

Sure make it look easy JD.   You only had to put it on the tiller tree a few times, and I have a path worn an inch deep in the concrete between my bench and the tree.  
Humbling.      

Also... You only use a rasp, scraper and a knee?    If my wife saw that she'd wonder why I really need all these tools.  

Nice Job!

Joe Don,
  I'm proud that you used wart as part of your presentation.  Enough lessons, just send me one. And one for the boys too.
