Are you kidding? Tired? This is a great thread! Thanks for the close up pics of those tip overlays. They are really neat! I like your mosiac stripe on that riser also. Mike

I think the main reason is reduce the impact between pin and belly side glass while releasing.
Second reason,make the limb butt surface parallel.
If any wrong,please correct me.

Hera your attention to detail is amazing. Your pics tell more than words could. Thank you very much for taking the time to share this build with us. I really enjoy watching you build a bow with hand saws. You, Sir, are a true artisan!

In pic 1,add 1 drop super glue at both tip edge,in addition the wood cleavage when file work on it.

hera · « **Reply #116 on:** February 26, 2008, 07:04:00 AM »

Go slow.

when I feel the drill tip just come out at another side by my finger,stop drilling and re-start at another side.That prevent wood cleavage.

Done.

you are such a craftsman, I think most of us forget how to work with out powertools. Thanx for all your effort

hera · « **Reply #119 on:** February 26, 2008, 11:52:00 AM »

Thanks all of you.
I'm very very injoy this stage building process,I like riser work,tip overlay and limb butt work.
A lot of design image flashed across my mind,.....

Simple and elegant is my gole,but I haven't enough ability to do it everytime.

My clinic office are not big enough to setting more power tools such as bandsaw or bigger power sander,my bow building table is an old TV table,only 2 tools need plug: sander and drill,all they are small size.
I,m not as good as you said,I just solve problem by my hand and make my design thinking come true.
