Mighty pretty lineup there, Buck. What/who do you mean by "we" - have I missed something or is it my memory taking a snooze again?

Me and my dad build the bows together. gives me an other reason to spend time with him, besides all the time we spend hunting and fishing, Hes going to Texas with me to hunt hogs and turkeys in two weeks. He is going to be 70 in july and I hope that when I'm his age that I can still do everything that he does. He is like that energiser bunny he just keeps on going and going.

Luke, after I get it roughed to the shape of the bow I take it to the belt sander and keep working it till I get the thickness I want. use a pair of calipers and get it down to 1/8 inch between the nodes.

Good on you and your Dad. Hard to beat that. I'll be 72 in Oct. but I never was an energizer bunny, even in my younger days - LOL. Did make my first (laminated wood) bow last month though.  Y'all did great work there.

BUCK,
  JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I JUST GOT DONE SHOOTING THE BOW THAT IS SECOND FROM THE RIGHT, THE ONE THAT GLENN TOOK HOME TODAY. ***WOW***  :clapper:  I CAN'T SAY ANY MORE THAN THANK YOU. THE COLORS AND THE GRIP TURNED OUT BETTER THAN I EXPECTED. YOU HAVE A GOD GIVEN TALENT. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. I GAVE GLENN THE $$ FOR IT SO I IMAGINE YOU WILL GET IT TOMORROW.
  I WANT WHOEVER READS THIS TO KNOW THAT THIS IS A WONDERFUL BOW. THE FIRST SHOT THAT I PUT THROUGH IT MISSED DEAD NUTS CENTER BULL BY 1/4". IT TILLERS PERFECT AND YOU CAN TELL THAT TLC WAS PUT INTO IT. IF YOU EVER WANT A BOW I HIGHLY RECCOMEND BUCK FROM TWO RIVERS.
  THANKS AGAIN BUCK. TALK TO YOU REAL SOON.
