Title: Bowmaking 2012 Season Opening Day
Post by: John Scifres on January 07, 2012, 06:50:00 PM
Well after 4 months (5 if you count elk season) of hunting and pretty much neglecting the shop/garage, there's a bit of organizing to do.

That's better.

And here's the first victim of the year.  I got it down to floor tiller and will bend her on the caul tomorrow.  Going for a 55# at 27" bow.  More specs later.

I am a little jealous that you are making bows.
I am trying to thin a piece of Osage Today. I want to make a belly lam for a failed hickory bow. Then Back the bow with Osage, Hickory or Bamboo.

Can't wait to see her finished John.

John you will never be able to find anything now that you have organized it all.  Looking forward to seeing this one come together.
