have you got a home made action wood going in that core Kenny?  looks like walnut maple combo on the profile edge....   

That looks like a good over seas carton there. i like to ship one piece bows with a wood crate going over seas. i sent a batch to China like that a few years ago....

Yep on the shop awood.  Made with .005" per inch tapers if I remember right.  Had it awhile.  Thick end of maple to bow center and thick end of walnut to tip.

The carton will withstand the carriers I hope unless they see it as a challenge. :laughing:

All these beautiful bows are really making me want to try and build a fiberglass one. Kenny, you want a house guest for a min? :goldtooth:

I have got a pretty decent bend going on with this simple selfbow. I just need to slowly tiller the weight down to my victem dbeaver I would go with beaver. That's all I use anymore.

looks like there's been a lot of stuff happening on here lately and these bows are looking great. I've been experimenting with some colors on a couple of bows, one for my victim and one for myself, i will put some pictures up soon, but i would at least like to get some sealer on them first. great job everyone, getting excited to see which one will end up at my door.

Got the new set of limbs ruffed out. They’re at the top end of my victims weight but I should be able to get them to their sweet spot. I had to dig into my birdseye stash because I didn’t have any more spalted wood for veneers.
