Got a little more done today. Work keeps getting in the way! Prepped all the antler per Big Jim's instructions and glued em up with smooth on.      With these clamps I keep going back and checking them every 15 min or so for the first couple hours. Guess I'm a little paranoid!   :scared:

Phoenix, if I had extra id gladly pass some on. I learned 2 things while doing these. 1. Buy more than u think your gonna need. 2. Get the biggest flattest pieces you can! I had to grind these thin enough to get them clamped down that by that time I had very little room for error!  I just hope they turn out!

I was able to work on it some more this evening after work. Got the grip, tips and shelf roughed in. Still not happy with the tips but I'll finesse them along when I trap the edges.

Alright, trapped the limbs and rounded the edges. Got er down to 57 lbs. still got to fade in the overlays and round the edges a little more. Hope to get down to 55# by the time I get to final sanding. Took it out and put a few arrows through it and it hits Hard!!! My arrows for my 64"er were way weak. This one is 62". And it's Fast!!

Yea, I made weight!! That's something you'll never hear me say outside of bow building! Lol. Anyhow, she's 55# at 27" and 62" ntn. And I'm pretty happy bout how she shoots!  All sanded down and ready for some buffalo hide!        I'm still not crazy about the tips. They look fat to me. Think I'll shave em down some more. What do y'all think?
