[WestTexan]

Nice lookin Bow Roy! I'm done with the all night varmint hunts for the year so hopefully this weekend I'll have something that looks like a bow... It'll have some heat on it so prolly mid week next week before I can shoot it if everything goes as planned.

[Roy from Pa]

Didn't happen Tex wif out pictures..  

Bobby it could end up at your place.. Ya just never know. I always wanted to see you with a real bow..  

[Pheonixarcher]

So Roy, how much would it take for you to send me that bow, and I'll build an extra to send to your guy? Lol. I like that one... a lot!
But then again, I've liked everything I've seen so far. If I start that practice, looks like I'll have to make about 40 or so bows! Not that I would mind that, but I'd have to quit my day job and it would probly still take me years to finish them all. Lol.
Great looking stuff everyone!

[Buemaker]

Kelly, good idea of using that piece of leather, kind of imitates the fingers I guess. Bue--.

For you guys wanting a wider hook I just a piece of leather. I fold it over the string and put my hook through it. Mine is about 1.5" I think it works well. Plus it keeps the metal hook of my string.

Cool idea.

[Trux Turning]

That a beauty Roy!

[heartlandbowyer]

Awesome bow Roy! I'm guessing someone other than me is gonna get that sweetheart since there wasn't any bow attached to that horn ya sent me.

[goobersan]

Dang it Roy !!  Thought I told you to use a darker stain. Oh well, I guess you can sand it up a bit and re-stain it for me.        

[Roy from Pa]

Gooberson, if it's any consolation, the bow should be flying right past your house. That's about as close as you will get to seeing it..  

[bigbob2]

Stop teasing me Roy!     Mine gets sent today if'n the courier picks it up.Its a long journey across the seas.

[KellyG]

Enjoy that time moose sick or not enjoy my friend. Roy that bow is ok I guess.

[D]

Dang Craig that's no good I sure hope your little girl gets feeling better.

Great looking bow Roy as usual.

I'm still fighting my homemade lam grinder trying to get it as close to perfect as I can.  It sure is easier to just buy them from a professional.

[Walt Francis]

D,
That was my experience with my home grinder setup, it took a lot of time to get them close to right.  I got lucky and found a thickness sander on Craigslist in Billings (140 miles) for a price that made it worth the drive.  My thoughts are that without an auto feed it is very hard to get them to the correct, thickness/taper
