2019 Bow Swap Thread

[skeaterbait]

I tried to chrono it but my lights need new batteries.

[Roy from Pa]

Not gonna touch that one either:)

[Crooked Stic]

Come on Roy 
David you have a PM.

[Roy from Pa]

Nope..

Poor Bonnie Pinky has been ridden pretty hard the past few days..

Gonna let him off easy for a couple days..

[BMorv]

Should be able to wrap in the next couple days

[Flem]

Real nice!
That Purple Heart, Osage combo is about the most awesome contrast. Takes the Bow to another level

[Roy from Pa]

Nice, Mr. Ben

[Buemaker]

Looking good.

I saw Canopy's post about his 2 pc takedown problem from 2016.  I didn't look at the link because I didn't want to be deterred from taking on this 2 pc. Sooo since my bow is now cut in 2, I looked at the link.  Now I'm nervous.  Hopefully my glass-less tenon holds up.  I've seen many examples of all wood bows working, but I'm still nervous.....Fingers crossed.   

[Roy from Pa]

Take a video of the first shot, Ben.

Otta be funny.

LOL

I’ll be sure to film it for you.  I may have to borrow skeeters hat. 

How’s that rotten hackberry and plastic bow coming Roy?   

[Crooked Stic]

No Ibeam. Probably be ok with those accents as long as it is not too heavy. I got one out there that has a wood Ibeam. only 40 lbs. though.

[Roy from Pa]

Didn't work out cause when I cut the pieces off I wanted, the design in the wood was pretty much on the surface.
It's on hold now.

[Crooked Stic]

Benton good idea on the wrapping jig. Getting the bulk of the clamps out of the way. I will do that mod. on mine.

[Flem]

Holy Moley! I finally got this thing ready to glue up. Doesn't look like much eh?

 Should not have taken so long, but I have excuses.
1) it was cold
2) I had a hang nail
3) my wife got Amazon prime
4) spent too much time surfing the Bowyers bench
5) etc, ad naseum

[Roy from Pa]

Looks good, Flem.

Benton -- Some words of encouragement?
1 - Your tenon looks way more massive than mine did.
2 - You've got more osage in there.
3 - At least mine came apart (the other risk with what you're about to do.)
4 - If it does break, it will probably happen slowly; you'll have lots of warning.

Seriously, I think you'll be fine, but I've still got my fingers crossed for you. I have not built an all-wood one since or ever will. Once burned, twice shy...

Thanks for the words of encouragement. But my bow is fine. Underweight, but fine. 
Ben is the one who needs a prayer
