Give me two years and I'll have it finished up.. :)
These were just cut yesterday in Ohio... I'll be using the one in the back ground first..
So stay tuned for monthly updates, LOL...

Well at least you're building. I thought you'd just given up, lol.
Glad to see you back in the selfbow game a bit too.
It better be worth the wait... :D
Looks like some fun times ahead, the one in the foreground looks especially challenging.
Well, I guess that will be OK. :D
LOL, Pat..
:laughing: touche' Pat
Don't ever just assume Roy is gonna turn a nice Osage log into selfbow staves. I've seen him slice 'n dice nicer pieces than that.
At your age,the bark will fall off before you get to it. Might wanna hire the beetles to get it off there. :laughing:
What you waiting on? Get with it ol' timer!!!
Gone away hunten in two days, gotta get everything packed up...
McKenzie, don't make me come out there boy... :)
:D
Just as long as you aren't using "fake wood"! Lol
I guess I'll have to keep an eye on this one. I might learn something from the old man. I've got an Osage stave in the corner that keeps staring at me everytime I walk by. Need to do something with it sooner or later!
:laughing: :laughing:
Started? They look like your finished bows to my eyes ol' man.
'cept for the pink camo!
Be e-nuff outta you two girls.... :)
Roy would you mind sharing your lam thicknesses again. You told me a while back that you decreased them from some of your earlier builds. I'm determined to complete a trilam.
Osage belly 1/4" parallel. Core lams 1/4" tapered to 1/8" at tips, start the taper at the end of the riser. Taper the bottom limb core lam 1/32" thinner than the top limb core lam. So taper it to 3/32".
Can ya give us that in thousandths? :D :D

ROFL!
Like someone said a few weeks back. Roy uses fractions of an inch to make it feel primitive.
No matter what he uses, you can't argue with his results. He makes a good looking bow.
I have one o his and it is a tremendous bow. Just don't tell him I said that.... :laughing:
x2
i second that kenny!
i love my "ol' fart" bow :)
What are you doing poaching osage on the other side of the big river?
Dave.
hey dave- how was yer moose hunt?
any luck
sure you had a grand ol' time as well.
The hunt was great! My partner and I had a staring contest with a 60 inch bull up close on Tuesday but not close enough to stick with an arrow. My buddy had two cows and a calf up close but had no tags for them, and another buddy got the best miss trophy this year. Twice for the same bull.
We saw a lot of eagles and a pair of timber wolves as well.
The boys got a few spruce grouse for a fry up too. I flung a lot of arrows but I couldn't kill any. I bonked one on the head with a judo but it got up and flew away. Tough little bugger!
And the chipmunks and whiskey jacks around our camp have high cholesterol now. :)
My truck looks like a garbage dump and it'll likely need a new windshield and I put about 4500 KMS on it in the last 10 days.
I love moose hunting!! Maybe by next year I'll feel like going again! ;)
Dave.
