I just smoked the motor on my bandsaw, so taking opportunity to upgrade from 1 hp to 1.5hp. Should have new motor late next week.

Finishing this bow up. Sprayed the first coat of Thunderbird on it and I really like how it came out. Super smooth with very little issues. Wet sanded the bow with 1000 grit paper and will spray it with flat tomorrow. Hoping a new bow may turn my luck around for the last couple weeks of my hunting season...it has been a tough one yet again!

Specs:
58 tip to tip
54# @28 inches
bacote back
cocobolo belly
cocobolo/bacote riser with curly maple accents
curly myrtle overlays
horn tips

Started a back quiver project. Kinda finding my way as it goes along.

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #627 on:** December 04, 2016, 07:42:00 AM »

I should of had gloves on... Dang piece of bamboo took off while sanding the back on the edge sander. And naturally I had to hang onto it so it didn't get damaged..

Zradix · « **Reply #628 on:** December 04, 2016, 09:27:00 AM »

dang Roy.
...stitches?

kennym · « **Reply #629 on:** December 04, 2016, 09:31:00 AM »

I hope you're ok buddy!

I have to say, a sander with some coarse grit belt is dangerous . May not cut as deep as a saw but removes material very quickly.....

Dan Landis · « **Reply #630 on:** December 04, 2016, 10:14:00 AM »

That's the kind of blood trail you want to see in the woods, not in your shop. Hope your ok Roy.

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #631 on:** December 04, 2016, 11:17:00 AM »

LOL Dan, that's only half the blood trail in the shop..
I'm fine.. No stitches, just 3 deep cuts on the hand from holding onto the bamboo when it took off. That boo gets pretty sharp along the edges when ya taper it down. And ole dumb a$$ Roy didn't put on his gloves. Wife patched me up with butterfly bandages... Then gave me hell...

Zradix · « **Reply #632 on:** December 04, 2016, 02:16:00 PM »

She's a good woman for that...lol

Glad to hear it wasn't too serious.

That boo can be like razors.

Ouch

be careful Roy

Mad Max · « **Reply #634 on:** December 04, 2016, 05:58:00 PM »

you got a name for that bow now.

Take it easy old fart.

Dan Landis · « **Reply #635 on:** December 05, 2016, 12:35:00 PM »

Glad to hear you're ok. Most of mine draw blood before finished too.

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #636 on:** December 06, 2016, 07:22:00 AM »

Actually, Dan. If I don't get cut at least once a day in the shop, then I know I haven't done much bow work..

Damn Roy, when I saw that picture, it gave me the shivers. There is something about bamboo cuts that gets me.

Didn't do anything quite so spectacular, but I got my latest attempt to floor tiller stage.

Maple backed ipe. Hoping to come in #50 ish

Let the scraping begin.

Eyes, legs and fingers crossed!
