Looks like it is well on its way. Someone will be very happy with that for sure.

It is out of the form (a few days ago).

Cleaned up a bit.

I need to figure out what to use for the overlays (riser and tips) and add some caps to the belly side of the riser, cut the shelf and shape the riser...Still a fair amount of work to do but it is getting there and the draw weight doesn't look like it will be an issue.

Thats a beauty Trux!

Got to work on it a bit today- but it could be a few weeks before more will be done. Took off the blue tape to see what was under it-- black glass!! Looks pretty good though. Started shaping the tips to get an idea of how things were going to look and rounding/trapping the limbs. Much more to do but it's getting there- at least I'll have time to build another if need be before the ship out date.

Thought I'd see what the weight was- still close to the target so this one may still be the trade bow.

Awsome!
I never really thought that I would like the red accents but it looks great.

Yea- I debated on it also- with all the black in this bow the little bit of red gives it a nice look- there will be a few more accents added to the back and belly- they will add just a hint of color- as long as my sanding doesn't get too carried away.

Looking good!! Someone will be happy for sure.

Finally got back into town and had some time to work on this bow- even got to shoot a few arrows from it. I still need to do the final sanding on the riser and the apply the finish but it is getting there.

Boy, that's looking sharper than a tack! Great work!

I like your tiller jig. That would be way more handy than my neighbor. The bow looks like it is tillered well. Nice work

Sweet!! Dave, I hope it is just coming up the road a little ways to my place. Not that I am being selfish, just wanted to save you some on shipping. You know I always put my friends first. LOL
