I’m trying to find out how long is too long. Got an email in asking...

Wonderful! My Christmas present to myself. I have moved all my work stuff out and into it. Have already finished up Darrell's hunting bow for 2019. Sprayed it last night, and built the wife a headboard for the bed for Christmas. She likes it too. Had taken over the dinner table for my office desk.

The next one piece I build i"m going to take your advice on that riser.

Then I ground one side fairly clean carefully and ran it thru big sander to finish cleanup and get parallel end to end.

Howd that get there?

Ya gave me an idea on grinding the whole bow to get it parallel after glue up.

I always gotta be careful not to get cut from the sharp edges of the glue when cutting the bow to shape.

Yep glue pushed a pc of the spalted veneer out of place but with the walnut core it looks like the veneer...spot on left ...

If you wouldn't have pointed it out, nobody would even notice.

I didn’t warm the glue either and it was a little stiff, lots of hydraulic pressure going on there.

Just a beauty mark for a hunting bow

How narrow ya gonna make those limbs

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #71 on:** December 21, 2018, 08:53:36 PM »

Just camo dip it or spray it flat black and call it a bow:)

Character flaw.

kennym · « **Reply #73 on:** December 22, 2018, 07:33:36 AM »

I'll bet it doesn't affect it in the least , but I can narrow enough to get rid of it. Saw a pic of one a guy made at 56" that looked good so narrow might be good on that to hold a bit more reflex at tips...

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #74 on:** December 22, 2018, 07:40:19 AM »

How long this gonna take?

Only been a month.

Ship it here and I'll fix it up:)

kennym · « **Reply #75 on:** December 22, 2018, 07:41:51 AM »

It takes whatever it takes! Don't rush me, deer hunting is still on!

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #76 on:** December 22, 2018, 07:50:35 AM »

That's right.

Don't forget the apple flavor granola bars:)

You can easely lose that width ,Im at 1 1/4 "
now on my current shooter, The one Im working on now I plan on 1 to 1 1/6" Kenny is that the one with out the supper lam ?

kennym · « **Reply #78 on:** December 22, 2018, 11:43:41 AM »

Yep, and with the spalted hackberry veneers and walnut core it came in light. Right now 58" - 46@ 28 and will be down to 42 when finished . Was wanting about 48@28...

So it may end up 56" long, tips will still be 1/2" in front of riser back.
