[Black Mockingbird]

Watch out for the silver bullet...it'll wreck bows       looks like its time for a handle..what ya putting on this one?

[Roy from Pa]

Either cocobolo or bocote. Kenny has some in the mail for me:)

[Bowjunkie]

Ain't that there fancy wood what they use in them high tech glass bows? Might as well order some glass too and be done with it  

[Roy from Pa]

LMAO..

I wanna show em how to make a real good looken bow:)

[Art B]

Hey Ol Man, I don't mind being one of the last to get one of your bows, cause they just keep getting better and better. So is that one mine?

If you require more butter than that for your toast please holler back. Did I mention, ya the man!

[Roy from Pa]

Your on the list, Art. Not saying what list though:) I'm giving this one to a good friend in Ohio, he hooks me up with free Osage:)

[Bowjunkie]

Kenny?

I was working on an Ohio osage connection for us this morning RoyBoy, thought I was on to something good, but it wasn't meant to be. I'll keep looking...

[Roy from Pa]

Yupper on Kenny. He has 60 acres of Osage:)

[Art B]

If it's the same list I use then I'm screwed, aren't I?

[Roy from Pa]

LOL

[Razorbak]

Aw heck  least your on a list

[Roy from Pa]

Thanks, don't think I wanna go much more deflex/reflex than that. I might get accused of using a black glass lam in dah middle:) Hey dats an idear:)

[Bowjunkie]

Go more. More deflex, more reflex.And shorter too. String angle will let ya then. Tri-lam? No problem. They're bendy little suckers.

Then do a recurve.

Shake it up, sweet pea  

[Roy from Pa]

Ya been dranken beers, hain't cha? LOL, me too... Thinking my next bow will just be a straight D bow. Need to mellow it out a bit..

Got the tips roughed in and the facets in, took pictures but just too darn tired to load them now..

[Bowjunkie]

No I ain't been drinkin'. Been working double shifts all week so far. No time for drinkin'... or bowmakin' unfortunately.

I'm serious. Varying designs and pushing limits improves us. With your draw length, draw weight, the material you're using, current skill level, and TIME on your hands, you've got a LOT of room to play.

For instance, maybe try something with about the same amount of reflex as this last one, but with the mid-limb blocks pushed out further towards the tips, and oh, I don't know, 56-58" long. Let's see whatcha got  

[Black Mockingbird]

I'm with Jeff Roy...I wanna see what ya got ,and what your made of(besides beer..lol)      

 .....and the race is on    

[Roy from Pa]

I hain't gonna race, that's how accidents happen:)

 

 

[Razorbak]

Roy.  WOW.  That looks awesome. I'm envious

[David Flanrey]

Lookin good Roy.

When you take it off of the form is there much tillering to be done or is it close off of the form?
