well guys just got a little greedy with a design I was working on and snapped it this morning   :(  It was a sweet character bow just added to much reflex and POP!!!    

Sorry to hear that Stone, got any pics of the de-construction?  

Not yet I will post some later on

Bummer ! Was it the Black Walnut you whereworking on ?

It wasn't the one I was working on it was another walnut that I had. I have about three bows in the works right now. this one I was doing some experiments with heat and a strong reflex design. I just rushed it which is something I normally don't do. thats the first for 2011. Thanks for the kind words

if you build them you break them.

If you ain't breakin' you ain't making! I still break them after all these years. Jawge

Me too Jawge:)

I blew up 2 yew bows last week, Awsome to watch one go. #2 came apart in my hands at full draw.

Nice to know we are in good company LOL

On to the next one    

Pick up another stave and have it. Ha, Roy! Full draw is so exhilarating!    Jawge

I have another in the works Jawge. it is pretty exciting when the initial crack sounds before the explosion.    

Been there, done that, got one in the making right now.  As longbowhuntr said, it is only wood.  Learning curve is something, isn't it?
