And after 6 beers, I thought it wise to stop tillering cause too many beers can do bad things to a wood bow:)

It would have been over for me after two!

Bow looks great

I like the Purpleheart, that sucks that it messes you up. What do you use to scrape off the Bamboo rind?

This made out of stainless...

I use a triangle metal file to sharpen it.

Nice Roy

Back at it after getting a full face respirator that works great with no fogging of the lens. The bow had way too much weight for me cause I never used purple heart before and didn't know it is very strong wood.
So I had to grind both limbs down on the edges using the edge sander which is always a challenge. Then I had to redo the facets. Strung her up and had some slight limb twist so corrected that. Here she is first time strung up after all the above. Looks pretty darn good to me at 4.5" brace height. Now I can start tillering again.

Done tillered but dumb ass Roy did not wear the mask while tillering and scraping, so now my face is burnt again...

Still need to shape the grip area of the riser. You can bet I will be all covered up when I do that.....

That has a beautiful bend to it at that brace height…..

Looking good. How long is the riser?

Very nice Roy! Sorry to hear about the wood reaction, I guess we gotta wear the mask or

hope you feel better soon. The bow is looking great.
