2025 Bow Swap Progress Thread

I if tempering the bamboo for the belly side would do much? In a bamboo, something, bamboo trilam you generally temper the belly bamboo before glue up to increase compression strength and don’t scrape the rind off, no idea how it would do between glass.

I got a little more work done finally. I still need to twist up a string and shoot it in while tweaking in hand tiller. But I got the bloodwood nocks roughed out enough to shoot.

Stic, me too !! But I got a lot more finishing up  to do than you.

Progress - finish is curing (still) - so I got your string done!

Ive had some quiet progress prepping lams and glueing up this riser block with an i beam.

Finally got out to do a proper fit. Going to glue an accent strip of black stabilcore on the backside of the riser blank and when I glue up the bow I'll put 36 inch sections of stabil core as the center lam and extend it over the belly ramps to frame the riser in a black line. 

Need new EA40 forgot to check my expiration dates so I'll make more progress when that comes in.

Pulled her out of the booth, string on, brace is perfect, weight is dead on, hell, the whole thing is perfect or I couldn’t send it !  But I won’t yet, not headin’ for town for bit, too much work around the place at this time of year. So here’s some pics, the attractive assistant is out so no full draw shot, but the draw is smooth and the shot is pure.

Beautiful Noah!!

Just gotta finish shooting in and do some cleanup before the finish starts. But she’s quick. I havnt chronographed yet but I would guess solidly in the mid to upper 160fps with a 500 gr arrow.

Broke one arrow on th first shot by glancing the plywood that squeezes the foam for my target

A coat of linseed oil rubbed in and ready to start the truoil. I love the colors in persimmon and looks like the bloodwood works well with it
