No Stic
the sander runs off a cordless drill, the sanding mandrel is a rubber bladder with air in it.
I forget what air pressure it uses, not much.

All I am saying is if you control the air pressure with a regulator you could inflate it out of an air compressor without danger of blowing it up.

I'm glad I don't make them high tech gwass bows.

For my wood bows, I just fold up a piece of sandpaper and work it up and down the limb by hand..

Ditto on the sandpaper. I do make low tech gwass(sic) Bows, but no fancy shapely handles that would benefit from a high speed contour sander.
I had to look at the specs on those pneumatic sanders, they take a max 8psi. Thats about 3 strokes with my bike pump.

You weren't kidding about the green! I like it, but my taste is strange.
Looks like you do some fancy quilting too, Stic

Flem, Mike has that bow laying across his lap.

Got to cut up about 1/4 of my ERC supply with the bandsaw. My shop smells amazing

The exhaust from my dust collector spread this pink dust around my yard.

That green looks sort of translucent under finish.
Mr. Pat I can quilt you up a pink for your lap

Damn Ben! Thats some really nice looking ERC. I had to dig thru a big pile of the stuff at the lumber yard to find one decent straight grained piece without knots. And the yard dude was giving me stink eye the whole time I was digging! I bet that dust will keep the bugs away.

BMorv · « **Reply #1393 on:** August 06, 2019, 12:25:01 PM »

Thanks Flem. Yes this is some good ERC. Fairly straight grain and not many knots, which is rare with ERC.
I posted this pic a couple months ago, but here's the log where the boards are from. I did my best to follow the split grain, not something that the lumber yard cares about. Should be some nice lams in there. And I have a few staves too .

Nice stuff Mr. Ben.

Nice sewing there Stickypops:)

Nice looking all around

Decided I need some new hunting shafts today, so I unearthed my stash of Western Larch. This log was fire killed in 1988 and was laying on the ground till 2000 when I went and ripped it up and carried it out. This stuff is incredibly rot restisant. You can make some heavy, small diameter shafts with the stuff. Anything larger than 5/16" is usually too stiff for any Bow under 60#. I do prefer Cedar, but at $30. a dozen, I'll use the larch. Besides, it pretty wood!

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #1398 on:** August 06, 2019, 07:42:22 PM »

Tight grain for sure How does it work.

I'm a little behind on my "summer bow" but got the ring chased and rough layout done. Time to start removing some material and make it bend.
