Wow, a guy goes to work for a day and misses all kinds of updates.

Steve, bow is looking great. I’m with majority.....ah natural. Snake skins are cool, but even cooler when collected yourself.

Ben, one piece or two. Either is great. I don’t travel a bunch so two piece isn’t necessary.

Aww snap! Looks like I'll have to tell Roy's bowyer to stop holding on to his bow now that he might come through even with the bad back...

It's just okay i guess

Roy, it looks like you work the nodes on the Bamboo down a little?
Do you scrape off the rind also?

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #1671 on:** May 03, 2019, 11:08:39 AM »

Yes, I just sand the crisp edge off the nodes and scrape the rind off lightly.

Sometimes there are longitudinal depressions running the length of the boo, I don't try to get the rind up out of those.

Doing so would mean scraping too deeply into the boo surface alongside them, and ya don't wanna do that.

Plus they give character to the boo.

If you leave the rind on, it will not accept any stain.

Ok Mr. *****, your bow blank has been assembled. Soon we'll start carving away all the parts that aren't the bow.

Was hoping to have it glued up sooner, but I done messed myself up gluing riser block mosaics. In a hurry, I turned on the bow oven to start preheating without looking inside. I had previously stuck my air hose in there for storage and apparently it was leaning against one of the light bulbs. A little melting of the outer braid resulted. I figured it'd be ok, but just to be sure I did a pressure test before committing to the glue up. A loud pop at about 35 psi made me appreciate having gotten more methodical as my years add up. Put a new hose together last night, held pressure fine by morning, so back on track to ship 4 weeks from today or sooner!

Thats a pretty fancy looking form you got there Dave

And a nice looking shop.

Buemaker · « **Reply #1674 on:** May 03, 2019, 11:52:53 AM »

Fancy rig and nice shop.

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #1675 on:** May 03, 2019, 01:42:33 PM »

You must have a pretty "small hose" if it pops at 35 psi.

canopyboy · « **Reply #1676 on:** May 03, 2019, 01:54:43 PM »

Now it's funny that you find that funny, I'll admit. But in the real world, where pain meds don't cloud our judgment, large hoses, pipes, and pressure vessels in general are more likely to burst at lower pressures than small ones. If you'd like a long engineering explanation, just let me know...

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #1677 on:** May 03, 2019, 02:03:42 PM »

I don't believe that at all...

More importantly, the OLDER the pipe, hose, or pressure vessel, the more likely it is to burst at lower pressure.

Nice Roy! The bow not the discussion on pipe sizes.

What kind of bow you got going on there Dave?
