[B-JS]

And started to make some Sample bow qivers in various woods and two shapes.

[Jeff tech]

Pretty nice 👍🏹

[Roy from Pa]

Cool quivers.

[Kirkll]

Cool looking  quiver design, But i think you need something more artistic on the writing. Or maybe a wood carving of a mountain goat or antlers on the front...and put the name in smaller letters on the end or the back......

Just a suggestion.......  The one with no writing at all looks great too.   Nice work!      Kirk

I played Santa's Elf today. Put together this doll house for one of our surgery centers top lead office girls. She didn't have the place to do it herself, plus nosy kids. It was fun and different. JF

Wife and Kids are away over the Weekend.
Took the chance to laminate two carbon layups and let them cure in the cozy bathroom.

[Roy from Pa]

LOL, good job:)

[Kirkll]

What thickness are you laying your carbon up? How many layers, and what are you using for materials?

With that clamping system, i'm curious about thickness consistency too.   Kirk

[B-JS]

It's Just for testing.
Thicknessconsitency should be within .002 i Hope.

Together with an other bowyer, i'm searching for a manufakturer in Germany that is willing and able tonproduce Carbon by our Specs for a reasonable price.

This layup is about .040 and a mix of 90/0, UD and 45/45.

Layup for Belly is different.

Will build a Set of ILF Longbow Limbs with that stuff Soon.
Hope they will hold Up.

Today I saw something that I haven’t seen in a couple of years. The surface of my workbench. 😁
A couple of days ago I pulled the trigger on a new jointer that I have been wanting to buy for a while now, so I thought that I would rearrange the shop layout to see if I could improve things. I’ve been slowly cleaning up as I go and this afternoon I put a set of wheels on my workbench so that now, everything in there is mobile.
I was lucky with my old jointer. I listed it for sale on FB and it was sold and gone in an hour. 🤯🙂 I don’t do anything on there and this was the first time I used the site for anything.

I just got some macacauba wood .  Has any one ever used it ?

Buemaker, thats quite a gap between the sanding drum and the table, does that machine have a variety of inserts and drum sizes?

[onetone]

Rawhide, I have used macacauba for laminations in risers. Very hard, dense wood, but I like the way it works, glues and finishes out. The stock I had was dark and didn’t show much grain figure when finished. Here's a pic of Macacauba laminated with Buginga.

[Buggs]

Beautiful riser there onetone   Really like the sculpting, or what looks like sculpting?
