Here ya go. Finally got a picture taker around in the daylight, they wouldn't come out in the blizzard to take the pic. Wish it would warm up so I could shoot outside.

Great pic's Dave and thanks for the positive words about the bow. It's only 56 pounds at my draw length so it gains 2 pounds per inch from 28 to 31. Think I'll have to build myself one.

Managed to sneak a little time with the swap bow today. Was warm enough that I got the profiling done on the limbs. With that done, I figured I could remove the tape and sneak a peak at the limbs. Nothin fancy, but I think the edge grain walnut looks just fine. Now I gotta figure out what I’m doing for overlays.

I was really liking the looks of this one, til I heard the tic



I think I made the tenon too small...

So I put it on the shooter and dry fired it at my victims draw length, didn’t blow but it ain’t going ...

Back under my rock now...

Man, Kenny, that bow was something special.....Sorry about that. 
You don't think you can sand it down and re-wrap that whole area with glass?  I don't know, just would hate to lose that bow without trying something.

I had one like that the wrap cured on the out side but was still soft on the inside. Not sure why it cured that way. Anyhow I got some new epoxy. Cleaned that area back off and rewrapped. turned out good. So yeah I would try to grind that off and redo it.
