Worked a bit on a pair of matching all bocote w/clear glass TD longbows. Will end up about 53@28 and 64"

will take a couple pics when all finished up.

The plan is for bro and I to bloody them up for a couple years, then give em to my 2 boys.....

The bow came out perfect, the Krystal dull dried nicely. I used the new Gordons glass and it also looks streak free..

While I have been waiting to hear that the clear glass issues are improving I decided to venture into the black glass world for a bit. I still have some sanding and then it is time to spray on a finish.

I put a few arrows through a new longbow I built for a good friend in Ohio.
 
 
 
It's a sweet shooter and silent as a ghost.
64" tip to tip, bamboo back and belly, walnut core and a pretty piece of walnut for the riser. It draws 46# @ 28", but it will likely lose a little weight by the time it's fully shot in.
After shooting the new bow, I strung up a couple of hunting bows for some practice before turkey season.
 
What do you think? Am I ready to kill my first archery tom?    :)

this is the bow i finished last night. I strung it up and shot a few arrows thru it. It shot super nice , very quiet and dead in the hand at the shot. I delivered it to my hunting buddy and he shot it a bunch before dark... He is going to put a selway slipon quiver on it.

Nice! I love those veneers.

Woodcarver - do you glue up your bamboo back and belly bow on similar form to the tri-lam process or a glass bow process? And then I would also assume that your ability to tiller is limited to the kind of tillering done on a glass bow. Is my thinking correct?

I use a form similar to, but not as OK as the one Roy uses. Tillering is limited to sanding the edges and trapping the back and or belly.

Settled up with Uncle Sam this morning.  It always hurts but when you stop paying the taxes I guess ....... absent from the body, present with the Lord.

Cut and hauled 6 pickup loads of brush..sure am glad my Son is getting big enough to be some REAL help.

Spent some time molesting a late 50's Kodiak.
