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^^

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:

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!    :laughing:

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

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.

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.

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.
