1ST TIME BOW BUILD..T/D LB
« on: January 05, 2012, 01:03:00 PM »
1ST Time Bow Build. Used a Binghams T/d LB form but tweaked it as I went. Learned a lot and had a ton of fun. Finished just in time for the last week of the season. Came out at 59# @ 28". Can't wait to start on the second.

You have gone and done it now. You do realize there is no cure for what you have started? Enjoy!

Well done.  That's quite a task tackling a take down on your first bow build.  

Welcome to the addiction.  You will never look at a piece of wood again withouth thinking how it would look in a riser or laminations.
