[Dmaxshawn]

I have had some time to make a complete spot n stalk on my prey.  Going to go with all domestic woods on this one.  Still haven't decided if its going to be a one, two, or three piece bow.  Maybe I can get the riser glued up this weekend.

[goobersan]

I'd like a two piece. Thanks

Two or three piece...It doesn't matter which.

Looks like its gonna be another banner year. I'll miss participating in this one. Too many iron in the fire this year. Good luck to all!

GRRRRR!! told my boss i needed my drawknife back he borrowed 2 weeks ago, he tells me he lost it and was going to replace it. bah, he came back with a spokeshave. what am i gonna do with a spokeshave? never once used one. got 3 hickory staves and 2 locust staves sitting in the dining room waiting on me. pics of what you guys are posting look awesome, makes my stuff look prehistoric.

Got some boo and ipe layed out..Waiting glue and a piece of riser wood (maybe) from good ol Mr Kenny to get here...

Timbermoose,

You have to ensure they are sharp. Semo did a you tube video on now to do this. Once they are sharp you can use them to remove wood fast.

That looks great so far..

[KellyG]

I love this part, seeing all the bows and wondering if that one is headed my way someday. The only bad part is I have not started yet.

[Dan Landis]

Ticc-tock, tick-tock Kelly, LOL.

I went out with all expectations of spending 2-3 hours and get the potential bow to brace height.  I started out looking for the first 45 minutes for my tillering gizmo only to not find it and get sidetracked.  Instead I chased a ring and drew out a bow on this bad boy.  Maybe I'll find my gizmo, maybe just make another one, or get sidetracked again and start on another bow.  

I love seeing pictures and always saw the guys making progress and like Kelly wondering which one was coming my way.  I think my favorite part of the process is seeing the updates.
