After a bit of work gonna be about [email protected] it or not this thing has quite a bit of preload Could be the built in power lam goes about 4 in. past the fades. It took some adjustment to get it pulling straight. Maple on the belly.

Nice
Alot like what I build

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #43 on:** May 10, 2023, 08:46:28 AM »

Well I almost screwed up and got the throat too small. I glued a couple of pieces on the front to beef it up a bit. This one may be a good canidate for a leather grip.

Got some turquois maple overlays and tips. Maybe spray tomorrow

I can’t wait to see that turquoise with some finish on it. Looking good.

Stic I like the jig to hold the limb. I am going to make one of them

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #47 on:** May 11, 2023, 07:55:44 AM »

Yes sir those holder thingys come in handy. I also made one with the curve the other way to use when filing the belly grooves.

Got any tiller tree photos of that baby drawing 28- 30-32" . I'd like to see where she's loading up. Kirk

Got it sprayed today will have pics tomorrow it looks pretty good at 28 with .001.

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #51 on:** May 12, 2023, 05:01:02 PM »

Looks pretty good but not as planned. One front overlay even stabilized still porus and got a hairline crack,so a little redo. Have not used Gordons glass for awhile this is super clear am surpised.

Gordons has been better than BP for awhile now, hoping they can keep it that way!

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #53 on:** May 12, 2023, 07:33:51 PM »

The part about Gordon's is buy by the strip and not by the inch. This build has a 6 in. And a 10 in. Left over. About all you can do with it is tip overlays.

kennym · « **Reply #54 on:** May 12, 2023, 07:58:14 PM »

Yep, but if it's better glass, it's worth a few bucks per bow. Over 20 years, $20 ain't too bad...

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #55 on:** May 13, 2023, 08:16:00 AM »

Venting

kennym · « **Reply #56 on:** May 13, 2023, 12:20:10 PM »

Yeah I liked the cut to length too and it used to be super clear. Wish they would get their shi , I mean stuff together!!

Kirkll · « **Reply #57 on:** May 14, 2023, 03:15:35 PM »

Thats what is nice about light colored veneers... You don't see the imperfections in the glass as much. With darker veneers it shows up every flaw.

Lets see this baby on the tiller tree, or at full draw Mike. I'd like to see how your limbs are bending. Kirk

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #58 on:** May 14, 2023, 07:34:34 PM »

Well the front has dark walnut and pert near perfect.
And it fell on the rocks while taking pics had a slight redo on the finish I will try to get a bending vid or pic tomorrow.
