Blew up a bow going out now to start another one.
Bvas, ouch been there that hurts. Unfortunatly they grow back. Fire is the only perment way to remove them i think.

Yeah it’s a throbbing sob. Worst part, it’s my ring finger on string hand. So it’s either gonna have to stop hurting or I’m gonna be shooting with two finger. I still got a couple weeks of deer hunting  ;)

Worked on my hickory bow.Cut out the handle area and feathered in the riser and fade. Cut my limb tapers then scraped the belly of both limbs 5/8 to 1/2 at the tips. Start tillering tomorrow.

Took too much material off the bottom limb of a tri-lam trying to tiller for equal limb timing.  Going to have a thousand 40 lb bows before I get this figured out.     :mad:
