Still need to cut her a bit deeper and lower the shelf some. May shoot it some first.

My new clamps are huge LOL

Couldn’t help notice those belly ramp overlays and the tooth detail in them. What have ya got going there?     Kirk

Decided to play hooky for a bit this morning and got the tips done and 95% of the final sanding done before I figured I should do some work today.
Just need to tie in some arrow nocks and run some arrows through it and decide if I need to adjust anything. It’s just under 1/8” positive tiller at brace as is.

I usually shoot them in without string grooves on the back as well to see how the limbs are naturally tracking while shot. Anyone else do something similar?

[Crooked Stic]

Okay mine is in the mail.
To victim the first thing you will notice is the limbs do not touch the riser . Not to worry will pul down when struggling (preload)  the last coat was a splatter coat texture.i done the tie on nock so once you get them where you want the you can glue or not. Shoot  and enjoy.should be three Wednesday

Nice tips Jon. I got a Jon bow last year whoever will like it.

[Mad Max]

Nice stic 

[Jon Lipovac]

Thanks Stic.

Good looking bow you just sent out. Someone will be happy by the first of the week!

Shaped, sanded & shot, might make some small changes before I put on any finish. The bad news: I’m at the low end of my victims DW and if I lose much poundage with the finish sanding I might not send this one. The good news: I get to build another one and I have a new bow.

[Crooked Stic]

That's pretty sweet Shaun.

[Mad Max]

Nice looking bows guy's

[Buemaker]

[Noah70]

Beautiful work , guys!!

[dbeaver]

really great finished bows guys! im impressed with what i see and wouldn't mind receiving any of these three bows.  Great work

got my tips and overlays on, Im tillering and then carving in the grip, Im already coming in 4 pounds over the max draw weight which leaves me plenty of room for tillering and sanding.

Looks like the dog was chewing on your tip overlays bro….. I hate it when that happens….

Great looking bows!

 I need to build some trusses for a building tomorrow so I’m hoping I can get some bow work done Sunday. The wonky stave has been pulled to about 6” shy of full draw and I still need to taper and flatten the lams for the boo, cherry, cedar bow

Tonight i tillered the longbow im working on. After rounding the corners of the glass and a little bit of back and forth with the dominant limb switching i ended up with a positive tiller of 1/8" and i hit my desired weight at 28" dead on. 

Rough cut the shelf and next is the fun part of carving out the grip area.

Good looking work on those bows gentlemen!
I am still alittle behind..

[kennym]

I put some sanding sealer on this morning ...and sure nuff it needs more sanding...

But the colors match much better than I thought they would...

And weight is right on !

[kennym]

More sanding and another shot of sealer . Getting closer…

[Jon Lipovac]

And weight is right on !

In other words. ‘I hit Jon’s weight on the money!’
