I use titebond 3. When I built a takedown bow, it had a fibreglass I beam, so I used smooth on for that one.

Sharp looking stick there Tim.

I did a double take on those limbs. Thinking dang those are narrow.

I see you’re not to far from the grumpy one with the whoopin stick.

What grumpy one?

Yup Tim's been to my shop quite a few times.

Had a visitor yesterday, Dave Canopyboy stopped for a few hours.

He drew my pink bow from gooberson and drew my swap bow I built.

He wanted to keep the pink bow but I said no, its special...

Very nice Tim!

Stopped by Roy's yesterday afternoon. I think he half expected me to show up with a bow...

Now that swap bow he already has is amazing. Goob actually put a lot of work into a bow with good tiller and alignment. Once the duct tape skins and rabbit hair grip are stripped down, it would actually make an awesome kids' bow.

I did see his recipient's bow though and figured out what's taking him so dang long to ship. I wouldn't want to part with it before I had to either. Someone will be very happy me thinks!

If I'm counting correctly, only 9 days left!

They say the most fun is had in the eleventh hour right before closing time.

Nine days, should be plenty of time to make a couple of bows then.

lol...yep I always enjoy going over to Roys....hes got a nice place. only problem is, its cursed. every bow I've worked on over there ends up trashed. The last one exploded on his tree.

the limbs look deceiving in the pics....they are 1 3/8" at the butts and 5/8" at the tips. Got to get a couple strings twisted up and i'll get some braced pics up here.

What's a guy got to do to get an invitation to Roy's?
I might not want one if it involves shooting something pink and/or wearing Chaps

Well you just got to try to blend in.

Don't worry, the only Junk of mine you guy's are ever going to see is the stuff strewn about my shop.

Enough of that, making progress. Looking like a Bow, finally! It's tillered and mostly shaped. Call me sick and twisted, but I enjoy all the sanding and shaping. I do wish I had a downdraft table for the micro glass dust.
