Well, that settles it. I have offically moved the 3 piece Treestick to the top of my "next bow" list! Now I gotta start squirreling the cash away!   :D

MYSTIKBOW - If Tim treats you half as well as he's treated me so far...it will be worth every penny you squirrel away.

Thanks again for the feedback on the thread.  I'll keep them coming unitl she's done.

Ok...just a few more posts before i get my bow.

Let's see where we left off...how about some limb base overlays and horn limb bolts.

Here is Tim turning a antler into a limb bolt.  Notice a few tricks he uses...adding extra surface area on the bolt head to adhere better to the expoxy and the little holes he dremels into the inside of the hole to keep the bolt head from spinning loose.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Almost done with the antler limb bolts...see the next set.

One more close up of the holes he drills inside the horn bolt to make sure it doesn't come lose.

 

 

into the jig to hold everything nice and straight while the expoxy hardens.

All right now for some of the limb base overlays

I get the bow on Wed!!!  I spoke with Tim today he was putting on the finish...he said the cocobolo really jumps out at this stage in the game.  can't wait to see it.  should have some more pics tomorrow of the finish going on and than leather grip installation and final bow setup.  

Can't wait to get my hands on it and sling an arrow or 2 hundred thousand....LOL.

Thanks for watching
