Nope. Dug out my other form.

Been wanting to try another 60” off it for a while.

Seem to spend more time making jigs than bow making. Gluing a thin veneer on part of belly to cover limb bolt heads that goes through from the belly. It is always a bit tricky to make the jig fit when you are not working with true circles.

Bue, I have a feeling you do amazing work but it's hard for me to look at it, I can't seem to get my eyes off the floors and walls of your shop.  :notworthy:

Very nice, Bue.

Not sure when I'll get to work on my swap bow, not getting any better here.

Might be MRI time soon.

The 1st wave of bows being made in this swap are top notch!   Every one of them :clapper:

Hopefully the slacker wave can live up....

Hope your back feels better soon Roy.  I feel bad making fun of an injured man.
