Doug,...Doug,...Doug! Surely you were thinking about someone else when you made that comment about Mike being old. I thought you needed osage split! :eek:

Great looking bow, can't wait to see it. Are you shipping it out UPS or USPS?

We need to get together and go squirrel/stump shooting (if your back will let you).

Thanks for the update. I was actually worrying about this as I was driving home last nite. Guess now I’ll need something else to worry about.
Nice job. Have you started another one yet?

rocdoc · « **Reply #105 on:** January 13, 2005, 09:25:00 AM »

Thanks for the comments and the help guys.

Terry. I was banking on Mike not reading this thread. I know YOU wouldn't tell him! :mad:

John. I've seen some of your bows, so I know why you weren't worrying about YOUR bow project, but MAN , you've got it bad when you start worrying about OTHER guys bows!

4) I will probably want to put the boo in the hot box at aroung 100 deg for a few days BEFORE gluing it on to the bow to prevent dry checks on the nodes. (What do you think John?)

5) I've got some 'early attempt' bbo's that came in under weight. This looks like a good way to 'resurrect' them to hunting weight bows!.

Good Job man

You know I have never built a bend in the handle bow. Must put that on my list of things to do. :D

Gorgeous tiller. I love good tiller like that. Pretty!

rocdoc · « **Reply #108 on:** January 13, 2005, 02:30:00 PM »

Thanks Jim and John. Comments like that from respected bowyers like yourselves are what keeps me trying to make bows.

That's why they don't tell us the truth Doug. "[dntthnk]"

:D

rocdoc · « **Reply #110 on:** January 13, 2005, 03:56:00 PM »

Dano? You're not suggesting these REPUTABLE men would withhold criticism to keep our fragile emotions in tact are you? :confused:

Dano · « **Reply #111 on:** January 13, 2005, 04:02:00 PM »

When your wife says " does this dress make me look fat?" It's not a lie if you don't hurt her feelings.

No I'm sure John and Jimmy don't care about our "fragile emotions". "[laffsmyl]"

John Sturtevant · « **Reply #112 on:** January 13, 2005, 05:18:00 PM »

Doug, I worry about everything. Particularly enjoy worrying about the most trivial things and the things I can’t control.

….and don’t for a minute think I don’t screw up bows. If I didn’t I’m not sure I’d bother building very many.

Thanks much for sharing your experience with us. You did good.

DCM · « **Reply #113 on:** January 13, 2005, 06:13:00 PM »

Doug that's a real fine tiller in anybody's book. I bet that scoundrel shoots like a house-afire too. Thanks for posting the build along. Real entertainin'. You too Jimmy. Let's me bowyer vicariously thru you all, and never leave my chair!

rocdoc · « **Reply #114 on:** January 13, 2005, 06:21:00 PM »

Dang David, I've been lookin' for an easier way to satisfy this need.....tillerin' from my easy chair....I like that!

Sparky · « **Reply #115 on:** January 13, 2005, 09:20:00 PM »

Dang...I come back and ya got'er done....LOL That's nice...how's the hand shock Roc? Ral purty. I like that grip too!

Sparky

rocdoc · « **Reply #116 on:** January 13, 2005, 09:45:00 PM »

Sparky. I can't notice any hand shock. It had just a slight bit before I put the handle leather on. I built up the front and back side of the handle with leather before putting the wrap on and that dampened what little there was.

rocdoc · « **Reply #117 on:** January 16, 2005, 08:58:00 PM »

Sending this back to the top.....had a couple of guys that wanted to check it out.

rocdoc · « **Reply #118 on:** January 17, 2005, 02:38:00 PM »
