What did you do today?

[Swissbow]

Was working on two new bows. One is a recurve the other is a d/r-bow with a new profile...

Is that Osage and Zebrano? Looks good.

[Swissbow]

Yes. I just love osage, it looks great and you can match it with almost any other wood.

Nice wood combo Andy.  You make some of the best looking bows, you always do a great job of matching woods that really compliment one another and the design of the bow.

[bigbob2]

Yeah I like the smooth lines, and the flow of the Osage grain contrasted against the zebra seems to complement those.

[Osagetree]

It'll even look better as the osage color turns a bit with age.

[Swissbow]

Put on the first coats of finish...

I put on the final touches to a 55# 58" r/d bow today. I was at the Gene Foster Shoot yesterday here in California and was inspired to modify this bow slightly and take the nock width down a touch. I was leaving my nocks 5/8" wide and I took it down to a true 1/2".  I love the look better of the limb and the feel of the bow. I am at 1 3/8" at the limb fades rather than 1.5. So not only did I adjust at the nocks I narrowed the whole limb a bit.

I was actually amazed at how narrow some bows actually are at the tips. Some bows I thought were dangerously narrow...looked way to delicate for my taste. Yet I was challenged to narrow my tips abit and so far I am glad I made the adjustment.

Andy, Cameron,
Very nice bows as usual!  Love the wood combos on both.     Slow day at work here, good to have something to look at for ideas.  Thanks

What did I do today? I spent 3 hours reading on tradgang instead of listening to my A&P lecture... haha!   :D

[bowhntineverythingnh03743]

Cleaned up the garage in preparation for bow making season! Glued up a two new BBO bows as well!

[Buemaker]

Cooked a batch of fish air bladder glue. Bue--.  

[David Flanrey]

Bue, I'll bet that smelled really good!

Today I finally got this grumpy ole Germans tri lam glued up. Hain't he a sweet heart? He got a fat lip cause I smacked him the other day.. LMAO      

Pumped in a little more d/r to this one as he requested. Kinda wish I'd have taken it a little more, just for craps and giggles:)

   

   

   

And needless to say, I got the wood burner cranking a bit too much again. I gotta start shutting down the air intake when it hits 60 in the shop instead of waiting till it's 65. Cause by then it's too late. I ended up taking off my shirt while I glued it up. So Pearly Boy got a half naked bow coming his way:) LOL

   

[goobersan]

gross. we've all seen that before. never again !
       

[PEARL DRUMS]

And that's my good side ol' man.....I better not see any gaps or crap joints.....

[Roy from Pa]

If there are any, ya hain't getten it boy... I know it's gotta be perfect for your grumpy ole A$$
