Happy New Bowyer and Archer! (WITH PICS)
« on: September 04, 2007, 03:55:00 PM »
I have been in contact with a fellow local pastor who was interested in building a boardbow with his son.  We met several months ago, and I looked at the start of their project and gave some suggestions and offered to help in any way I could.  They backed the bow and get it to rough dimensions and came over on monday morning to see where to go from there.  They had things off to a GREAT start.  We got out the bandsaw, belt sander, rasps, scrapers, and bowyers edge; and got BUSY.  Dad was a quick study and took to bowyering work right off.  A few hours later this is what we had.

 

Here is Dad posing with him for a pic.

 

Daniel has a lot of finish sanding, staining and finishing to do but it is already a shooter.  It is a canvas backed Hickory board.  57" NTN and 20#@20".  I look forward to seeing it after the finish work is done.  Dad was already talking about building another one for his dad back East.

We hope to get together in the near future to build some 1/4" woodies and teach them how to twist a flemish string.  Sure was a fulfilling way to spend a Labour Day morning.

BTW - Dad lurks here and gleaned some info for this build here as well.  I don't know if he is a member here yet or not.

I should have taken a tiller tree pic!!!  It was PERFECT.  Probably one of the best board bow tillers I have EVER seen.  Sure a lot better than my first 6 or so.  LOL!!!!

George,

Your site is another I gave them to look at before hand and I am SURE was a great help to them as they got things started.
