Good grief... the floor in your shop is nicer than the floor in my house!

Good looking bow build.

I can see all pics now Bue nice adjustable form ! Bue do you taper your Boo ? & what do you use to taper or thickness your boo ?

Did a little more today. Roy here a pic of the RD shape. When the blank is 66 inches ttt the tips are 1 inch in front of back of handle.
Forwardhandle, I first flatten the bamboo full width on the jointer, then cut the width roughly to finished bow shape and taper it by hand on the bandsander. About 1/8 inch at center to 1/16 inch at tips.
Bubinga strip that will be cut in several 12-13 inch pieces for glued on handle

Thats nice bue

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #32 on:** December 21, 2019, 11:38:43 AM »

Very nice, Bue.

I like the power lam idea..

Buemaker · « **Reply #33 on:** December 22, 2019, 06:52:14 AM »

Bubinga strips 13 inches long 1/8 inches thick to be glued on the Osage belly as handle. I find it easier to get a perfect fit against the belly useing thin flexible strips, instead of one piece of wood. A bit more glueing though

Mad Max · « **Reply #34 on:** December 22, 2019, 08:32:53 AM »

Me too bue

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #35 on:** December 22, 2019, 10:05:57 AM »

That's sharp Maxi.

Multiple strips may be stronger.

Buemaker · « **Reply #37 on:** December 22, 2019, 02:25:53 PM »

Sharp handle Max, let’s see the whole bow.
