I made my first batch of string making wax. I used 2 lbs of bees wax and 2 toilet wax rings. I guessed at the ratio. I think it turned out good. I'll give it a test run and adjust the ratio if I need to.

Yeah! That's a lot of goomba.

As many strings as I want to Bvas

I do things in bulk. My time is getting more limited so if I get set up to do something I take advantage of it.

Roy, that's how I heat up my hide glue too. The water pan keeps the heat steady. It takes a little longer but the results are better.

Don’t you mean......That’s none of your beeswax

Shredd, that bow looks sweet. What’s the red wood you used for center I beam? Looking forward to the details.

Good productive day today. Between doin other household chores. I managed to get limbs profiled. Also got riser and tip overlays shaped and glued on. It will still be a couple days before I get a string on. I’m planning on adding antler to the tips, but prefer to get all the base material on and narrowed to the limbs first. That way I can get the antler as thin as possible.

Nice bow there Shreedy pretty

Beautiful looking bow there Shredd

I was thinking you had some cool looking burnt orange glass till I saw the other pics! Funny how camera angle can change the color.

Bvas, "I Heart explosives"?

Flem · « **Reply #1218 on:** July 01, 2019, 09:09:32 AM »

Actually I'm not sure about the belly glass color?

Shredd · « **Reply #1219 on:** July 01, 2019, 09:29:21 AM »

Thanks for the compliments guys...

Just for chits and giggles...

I posted this bow on FB on a trad group claiming it shoots over 182 fps... Some guy said BS on me and this is what he posted...

"I know that my 65# bear grizzly, a short and super fast recurve shoots a 440gr arrow at 180fps.
This wouldn't come close."

I told him that his bow was slow and to go educate himself and get back to me...
