Lookin real good Linc, nice save buddy!!

I like that Lee, The POOFYMIESTER BOW MAKING ACADEMY, it has a nice ring to it.

I'm rejoining the ranks as "grasshopper".I can't even begin to fill the shoes of a teacher. :(

Thanks Dano. I hope to do a lot better on the next project bow.

If you remember Professor Poofy I learned to build, tiller, patch, and back in one session. I couldn't lift my arms for a week

but it was worth it!

That lady is getting a really fine one there!

Linc · « **Reply #104 on:** January 20, 2005, 07:30:00 PM »

Glad you straightened that up. I would also like to re-iterate that I have never taught anyone to be poofy. Larry is a no-frills or poofy kind of guy.

Larry don't be so modest, you were the Valadictorian

Linc · « **Reply #106 on:** January 20, 2005, 07:33:00 PM »

Lee,You are correct.But,I didn't teach you POOFY,now did I? You may get guilt by association though. "[tunglaff]"

Your stho sthilly.

I think I'm getting punchy.Time for me to go to bed. Nite-nite. "[moon]"

LeeNY · « **Reply #108 on:** January 20, 2005, 08:14:00 PM »

Good night teacher "[moon]"

I don't remember Poofy being in my cirriculum.

had a little time today and thought I would add a little cosmetics.

Horn tip overlays and a horn palm swell.

Linc · « **Reply #110 on:** January 23, 2005, 07:48:00 PM »

I'll have to try some other time to get a better pic of the tip overlays.Sorry.

Dano · « **Reply #111 on:** January 23, 2005, 08:44:00 PM »

Lookin good Linc, did you use epoxy to glue em up?

Linc · « **Reply #112 on:** January 24, 2005, 04:22:00 AM »

Nope,I thought I would give TBII a try.I never have very good luck with epoxy.

cjones · « **Reply #113 on:** January 24, 2005, 05:18:00 AM »

Didin't know TBII would work for gluing on antler! Learn something new everyday. Been fun watching this one buddy.

AZStickman · « **Reply #114 on:** January 24, 2005, 05:49:00 AM »

Linc..... I use epoxy mixed with horn or antler dust, depending on the type of overlay, as a filler when I glue my overlays on....never had one pop...... I'd be inclined to go with CA gel over Titebond II if epoxy is not to your liking..... Nice job bringing the tiller home.....

Linc · « **Reply #115 on:** January 24, 2005, 07:36:00 PM »

Thanks Terry. I had read your tutorial on horn tip overlays.I just had TBII handy so that's what I used.I think CA gel would have been a better choice.If nothing else,this could be considered a test.I roughed up both surfaces real good to give more surface area for the glue to hold on to.

Chad, Not sure how well TBII will work.It seems to work good for most everything else.

BIG QUESTION! What can you use to dye the horn? I'm not sure if I like the natural color that much.Might want to make them black.

Sorry it's taking so long to get this baby finished. I've been put on overtime at work. 6 day work week @ 10 hrs a day.Doesn't leave much time for anything else.I'm also splitting up my time and working some on a "special project bow".

Dano · « **Reply #116 on:** January 24, 2005, 07:49:00 PM »

Blah, Blah, BLAH!!! Get er done dude!!!TB II will probably hold, I wouldn't be surprized.

Linc · « **Reply #117 on:** January 25, 2005, 04:47:00 AM »

I will be finishing it up this weekend.(I hope).

Linc · « **Reply #118 on:** February 15, 2005, 04:48:00 AM »

Sorry I let this one drop but I thought I would post a pic of the happy owner.

cjones · « **Reply #119 on:** February 15, 2005, 05:02:00 AM »

Linc, Ya done good buddy.

She looks real happy with it.
