Nothing wrong with those hooks if you got them pulling straight.

Been a lazy bum for a few days, showeled a lot of snow though.
Glued on Zebrano veneer and clear glass on the back of handle today.

That is a pretty cool form you have there. I've noticed Mike has one for his as well, it's a great idea and I may have to get around to making one someday.

Cut to shape and cleaning up the edges.

That's gonna be a beautiful bow Roy, you make some super nice bows!

Buemaker, I need to build a jig like that. I've been clamping them on with an old set of limbs, it works but it's a pain.

Mike what is the darker wood in the veneers? Gonna be a looker!

I did some sanding on the riser this afternoon, got it roughed out. Only a couple imperfections so far. I'm getting reminded why I don't use fiberglass for accents in my risers.

Have to pink it up then

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #311 on:** February 10, 2019, 08:53:05 PM »

Thanks Travis.

That riser is very sweet also.

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #312 on:** February 10, 2019, 08:57:33 PM »

I like that Travis. That is tulip poplar and quarter sawen spalted sycamore.

Man Travis, I love the look of a slender riser and handle and you got it down pat. Beauty.

goobersan · « **Reply #314 on:** February 10, 2019, 09:04:17 PM »

Those are all lookin great !

Glued up plan A riser and cut out. Also started gluing lams together

Some fine looking bows being built.

I’m still in the planning stage

Here is the form I am building my swap bow on.

My "Victim" (Is it OK to mention by name?) is looking for a 60" bow. The form builds up to a 58" bow but I think if I continue the arc and cut the ends down I can get a 60 incher.

Most pieces and parts are lined out but may need to give Kenny a call next week.

*#$$!! Over achievers!
Some really nice work being done out there. I got the first glue up done on my sister risers. Two more glue ups and hopefully some warmer weather and I can start really building.

If you mention his name, that negates the surprise.

goobersan · « **Reply #319 on:** February 11, 2019, 08:46:26 AM »

It's for me Roy. I requested a ridiculously long bow to compensate for something else

JK- I checked last night. OkKeith didn't give up any info.
