I'm right there with ya on the the slacker Scars.  I haven't even started on ********'s bow yet.  I've only been planning stuff in my head.  Nothings in wood yet.  I've got enough time though.

I am trying to get a bunch of arrowheads and some flint knives finished before the drawknife hits the wood...and the darn stone has been a pain in the asteroids....three knives became arrowheads, I thought my knapping tools were cursed..

Hopefully all the bad mojo is gone when the steel hits the wood in the next week or so...
All these bows being made make me feel a little behind the curve....

Roy, if you need a place to send that bow, I'll give you my address!  A few pounds under weight won't hurt my feelings a bit!  I've always wanted to try one of your BBO's anyway.  They just look so dang nice, and I never have time or materials to try one myself.  Someday, maybe...

You guys don't listen well, I said it's going to be mine.   :)  LOL.. I'll not know for sure till it's finished, but I know it's no where close to  50 or even 45. 40 - 42 would be my guess.... But thanks for the compliments boys.

Sounds like a good candidate for an experiment in adding a gemsbok horn belly slat! That would make a really unique bow. Not alot of guys out there doing that.

So do you think this has the makings of a trade bow? 62" lb, zebrawood and wenge, 14" riser. Targeting somewhere between 40 - 50 lbs. I'm not experienced enough to confidently zero in on weight yet...

 

This will be the palm side view...

Looks good, Beach Boy!

My wife just texted that I have a long package at the house. I ordered materials from Pine Hollows Saturday afternoon and it's already here!

Looks like we may not have school tomorrow so maybe I'll get to start on my trade bow.
