Thanks didn't get much done today other than switching my gang boxes to metal and foiling by the rest of my heat box, I didn't have my camera but I will on Monday. Other than that just waiting on my material.

Also, if anyone has anything they would like to share to help me out, tips, answers to my questions, that would be great, can never stop learning things from experienced bow makers.


I hope to get going on the rest of my bow very soon.


heres my to do list


1) press
2) riser glue / cut / glue
3) limbs
4) shap riser
5) glue limbs
6) shape limbs
7) riser incerts
and so on and so on

if anyone has tip or pointers of any of these or would like to share how they do them please do!!

Your form looks good. I would put a bunch of wood screws in it so the glue doesn't let go when it gets hot in the oven.

It's not a bad idea to pre drill the ones close to the surface, the rest you won't need to worry about splits/cracks.

On my heat boxes whether for drying or curing I put the lights at the bottom with spacers to keep everything off of them.  I figured the heat would rise off of the lights and circulate the air a bit for a more even temp.It may or may not have helped though.
