I want to throw in my side of the story:

"OWWW!!!!"

That's a real friend. Someone who will break your bow and not complain that it hurt like heck! LOL

Glad you are OK! That can take the fun out of both building and shooting in one quick second. Hopefully it is salvageable.

LittleBen · « **Reply #1963 on:** May 06, 2014, 11:17:00 PM »

Fortunately I believe it is salvageable. And yes, that does really put a damper on things. Just glad there were no serious injuries involved.

The wide, middle stave is what I bought at the Tenn. Classic for my 3rd attempt at my trade bow. I know I can make a bow from osage!

Looks like you are getting into boomerang building with that one stave Pat. That wide one sure does look good, what design are you going to do.

Ink are you using glassfiber cloth ? Bue--.

timbermoose · « **Reply #1973 on:** May 07, 2014, 06:24:00 PM »

fine looking bow Hill, like the grip.

inksoup · « **Reply #1974 on:** May 08, 2014, 06:39:00 AM »

re: buemaker
i am using fiberglass and epoxy. but i think my epoxy is out of date. so this is the reason of loosing transperancy.
i took the fiber glass off now sanding the remainder and re apply the glass. i bought new epoxy.

hopefully this time it is gonna be full transperant.

best.

Hill and ink nice work.

Pat be careful looks like a snake was crawling around your wood pile.

Echatham · « **Reply #1976 on:** May 09, 2014, 07:33:00 AM »

Looking good everybody. I been kinda scarce lately... Busy with the chores of spring.

Buemaker · « **Reply #1977 on:** May 09, 2014, 09:50:00 AM »

Just finished my swap bow which goes to Roy. I have really made an effort to construct the most exquisite piece of art with perfect tiller.

And last the beautiful tip work.

Some detail.

Greetings from the hatchet man, Bue--.
