Bout time son, its been 2017 for darn near 2 weeks! LOL

I tested generators ahead of the big ice storm that starts as early as 9 in the morning.

I'm hoping to bowhunt tomorrow so hope it waits a bit!!

[scrub-buster]

I burnt feathers on 37 arrows into a shield cut pattern.  I couldn't keep the garage doors open much because of the rain.  

Roy, is that top limb just a tad stiff coming out of the fade?

[RJonesRCRV]

Roy,

If you feed me, gimme a cot n some sticks of wood for heat,  Ill come up and you can teach me about trilams.  Ill even clean the shop afterwards.

[Crittergetter]

Finished another set of limbs for a 3 piece I've been designing for a while now.  So far I really like it.  

[Bvas]

Lol. I'm betting the tiller looks  just fine  :rolleyes:  
 

[RJonesRCRV]

I started a red oak board bow for my 4 year old, following a build along on this site.

Oh and i worked on a bamboo arrow, trying to get my technique down.  Other than sanding the nodes, I cant get much straighter than this.  Its still very long, like 39", so I have some room to play.  It seems pretty stiff, like a 7595 Goldtip Traditional almost.  I dont have a spine tester yet.

Cut the grips into 3 bows I got on my bench right now. Two r/d s for me, and a hill style for wife. Just fished stitching her arm guard. Died the leather pink  

[Roy from Pa]

Very nice, Randy..

Clint it does look a tad flat there. He shoots 3 under also. He took it home to put a 100 shots through it, then when he comes back we will fine tune the tiller.
Those are 7 up cans on the floor:)

[bigbob2]

7 up cans, yeah right!     split a big osage log got 4 staves off half split and chased a ring on 3 of them. got them steamed and put away to season. Started on light weight takedown 'curve and also a 45# deflex/ reflex.Busy start to year.

I have to get two TD LBs done by early Feb. I have them all the way to the riser shaping and finishing stage. Had to order new 50 grit spindle sanding sleeves. The marblewood and cocobolo are gumming up the works!

[Bvas]

Received my first ever package from Binghams.
Guess the only thing holding me back on my first build is me (and my three kids basketball schedules).

[passion for knowledge]

Made myself a bow sock out of an old wool blanket I found in a dumpster! Cleaned up as good as new - waste not, want not - yes, I'm a cheap so-and-so!

Got my tri lam ready for final tillering with the short string.

Pictures?  

[passion for knowledge]

I've made 9 bows so far.

I have 5 shooters of varying weight.

The ones that broke are the ones I tried to document the making of in pictures.

If I post pics of this one and it breaks, I'll blame you, Roy!
