Dang Bob and Heart those are stunning... No way my bows can compete with the work everyone is producing. Crossing my fingers my victim likes what is coming

Sweet one Bob- the classy line and wood with the fancy gimmicks make her really outstanding!
Hope you checked for shipping before- I`ll go with a 3pc not only but also to make her shipping abroad affordable...

And Cory- the one who doesn`t love "your curves" would have better stayed away from the swap^^

Thanks gents, and Moe I checked on shipping costs to US and they are same as last year, 'bout $72. Won't mind if yours comes my way Cory!

Damn I just can`t decide what to build... was lurking the inet for a proper inspiration and found too many of them at once.
Got the tools, the stuff and no idear :confused:
Proving once again everybody suffers his own level....

got my bow all tillered out. right on weight, well... 2# over the center of mr **********'s range. working on shaping up the handle and tips so i can start shooting it in and adjusting tiller if needed. i never really have needed to adjust anything after shooting in, but i always watch closely. need to get a proper string made too. wonder what kind of nocks that guy uses.... i guess if i send him a dozen arrows he'll use what i use won't he!

Bigbob, I said it before and I'll say it again, you build a great looking bow! I love those Aussie woods.

Moe, if I might make a suggestion, why don't you build something that includes European woods. Maybe some local walnut, red beech, etc. There are some nice woods over there.
Dave.

only thing I'm picky about Eric is PVC. Can't stand the stuff ! Gives me the worst rash ever

Haven't been on line for a few nights and man! What I've been missin'!!!

Bob, it broke my heart when I saw the arrow rest on the wrong side!

bigbob2 · « **Reply #811 on:** February 21, 2014, 05:46:00 PM »

Thanks guys, sorry 'bout that red hill! Got a few flaws in it I'm not happy about! Hope #@$%$# likes it, when it eventually gets there.

Echatham · « **Reply #812 on:** February 21, 2014, 05:59:00 PM »

Goobersan im with ya on the pvc. had a pvc pipe bust at work today and made a huge mess on alot of expensive equipment. so i kinda got a grudge.

Dan Landis · « **Reply #813 on:** February 21, 2014, 10:02:00 PM »

Bob, I love it already and it's not even here yet, lol.

Still shooting mine in yet, tiller seems to be holding well, weight is where it should be. So far so good. Will get some pics up soon.

KellyG · « **Reply #814 on:** February 21, 2014, 10:07:00 PM »

Man bob I bet *** is going to flip when that hits his door step.

I went to a shorter cast this week so I my be able to get out on the front porch and get a drawknife out.

Holy Cow I don't check this for a couple of days and wow. Great looking stuff everybody.. Congrats Pat. Well done Dave

I would be completely happy with a recurve.

Bob that's a sweet looking bow. I like the initial inlay idea.

Roy I like those tips. I like the white cowhorn. Almost turns clear when its polished up

I went by the wood store and got some small stuff today. Gonna try something I've never tried before. Try it in a few days when I get a little more time. Great looking work everybody.

Echatham · « **Reply #816 on:** February 22, 2014, 11:56:00 AM »

got my tips roughed out with wb horn and whitetail antler, grips all shaped up, fixin to twist up a d97 string and start shootin her a little. snake skin should be here early next week. right now its holding just a hair of reflex, im betting and hoping its going to settle out straight standing. mass weight is right on the money as per the mass principle. i kinda wanted to flip the tips a little but i can't do it due to a cluster of pins near one tip. i don't think ill shoot it today cause its so moist out, and i don't want it absorbing moisture.

timbermoose · « **Reply #817 on:** February 22, 2014, 12:39:00 PM »

lookin' good. them tips are nice.

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #818 on:** February 22, 2014, 01:07:00 PM »

Looks nice, Eric

KellyG · « **Reply #819 on:** February 22, 2014, 02:26:00 PM »

Holy smokes eric I like the tips but you have done something I have never see before got ole roy to say it was NICE!
