I feel like being dead last I need to post a lot of progress pics to keep my victim from losing hope. I got the limb veneer billets spliced and in the oven. Balancing my wife’s plans for the holiday weekend is going to be a bit tricky, but I still hope to have it glued up by the end of the day on Monday.

If it is for me, take your time no haste.

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #864 on:** May 25, 2024, 05:08:40 PM »

I would wait for that. BTW think I asked for 40 and up to 45 be okay.

Tonight was a party in the shop. My buddy came over to drink a little whiskey and help while reminiscing about the bow we built for him last year. But then my wife and eventually one of my daughters showed up and they all talked and drank while I worked.

Turns out my form sustained damage in storage and so I needed to build a new (and improved) one. So that’s all done and everything was dry fit and clamped. Seemed safer to wait until tomorrow for the main event. No pictures since at this point it might give away what kind of bow I’m building. At least until my recipient is the last one and there is no surprise left…

Glued up late yesterday afternoon after work with no drama. Woke up early so I figured I had time to pull it out of the form and peel back a little tape. I guess it’s ok.

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #877 on:** May 30, 2024, 07:56:42 AM »

Ya, it's just ok...
