Off topic, but are you getting injections for this? My wife works in the «eye section» of a hospital and that is why I have heard about this illness. Some people are getting injections in the eyes every 4 weeks.

no one had said anything about this. Perhaps it has to get worse. It is only in the right eye.

Got some riser and wedge wood under vacuum for 5 days and letting them soak without vacuum while we are on vacation.

Before we left my aluminum stick also showed up for the :banghead:adjustable test riser I want to make.

Looking forward to getting back to work on it all.

Haha. I’m pretty interested too.
I’ve got some drawings made up and gonna mill a mock up out of wood before I dig into the aluminum.
My idea’s definitely don’t manifest the way I think they will every time.😁

I got to ask you said wood vac for five days. Did it take that long for the bubbles to quit ? What species of wood?

Jon Lipovac · « **Reply #90 on:** February 12, 2023, 03:19:00 PM »

Curly maple.
(3) 1x4x20
(1) 3/4 x 2x 20
It was still bubbling ever so slightly yet. But was leaving on vacation for 6 days and didn’t want to leave it unattended for that long. I’ve had good results with most woods even though I have probably stopped a little short of complete air evacuation. Since I done put color in the resin, it’s hard to tell the level of saturation I get.
I’ve noticed that all the Maple I’ve stabilized sinks like a rock and gains significant weight.

That is my experience with Maple also. Soaks so much it don't float. And with color get completely thru even 8/4 pieces. What I been told is the specific gravity of the wood determines if it floats or no and has nothing to do with complete penetration.

Thanks Mike, I hope they like it.

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #95 on:** February 13, 2023, 05:38:17 PM »

#2 under pressure. Hoping the weight is right.

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #96 on:** February 14, 2023, 11:25:06 AM »

I made a boo boo. using straight taper wedge and got one upside down. If they tiller and hit weight could call it a character flaw ? what you all think?

stickmonkey · « **Reply #97 on:** February 14, 2023, 04:40:19 PM »

Either way it will be interesting to see the outcome!

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #98 on:** February 14, 2023, 05:23:33 PM »

Stickypops your hose looks to be a little limp..

I'd finish the bow and see how it goes.

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #99 on:** February 14, 2023, 07:44:43 PM »

That aint the half of it drilled one limb only to find out Iforgot to flip my drill block to the curve side. Easy fix with plugs and overlays but
