Well, you're not gonna believe this ...but I finished tillering yesterday and have started adding the Tru Oil finish. While Mark is out of town I thought I'd copy his rattan handle so don't tell him and I'm gonna use a floppy rest. The bow was coming out a little light so I piked it about 2". She's now 62" N/N and 64" T/T and pulls about 43#@26" and shoots pretty good. Not gonna add tip overlays, just gonna keep her pretty simple.
Just so you don't think I'm fibbing I added a pic...

Can't wait to see it all finished

Getting close. I'll post a tease a bit later.

So the high tech yin to your yang bow would be Compound "W"?

I wanted to take more pics and spray satin poly today but it's raining. Maybe it will clear up enough this afternoon to get it done.

Had to go around my elbow to get these up.
Just sprayed the bow. Will have more pics with a full draw later.

That looks like it’s really comfy in the hand Mr. Pat!

Thanks guys. If weather permits I'll get the rest of the pics taken tomorrow.

Pat B · « **Reply #154 on:** May 07, 2021, 10:16:27 AM »

Well, it wasn't tomorrow but I did get some pics today for you guys. I'll get a full draw pic when Marcia finishes with our taxes.

Bows with knots on the back like that just amaze me.

Very nice, Pat.

Pat B · « **Reply #156 on:** May 07, 2021, 10:26:00 AM »

Thanks Roy. If the back ring was chased cleanly around the knots the bow should be very safe. The tree supplies extra wood around branches to support the branches.

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #157 on:** May 07, 2021, 10:36:29 AM »

Yes I understand that, opposed to 1/4 sawn belly wood that has a pin knot exploding:) LOL

I'm planning on making some BBO bows with flat sawn billets.

I think they would be sharp as heck..

Mad Max · « **Reply #158 on:** May 07, 2021, 11:42:29 AM »

Really nice Pat love the knots

Pat B · « **Reply #159 on:** May 07, 2021, 11:46:45 AM »

Thanks, Mark.
