Roy. I'm definitely paying attention and I will go slow on the next one

Riser is 12 inches, Kenny

Looks sweet can't wait to see it next time I'm there.

For a second there I thought that was brown glass on the back of it    

Very nice Roy!

It does look purty good sonny...  

Thanks Ole Boy:)

Have the 4th coat of tung oil on her, one more coat and it's done being sealed. Then the rest and grip and she is all done. Made a FF string for her tonight too. I like her a lot:)

very pretty.
like the accents in the horn.
man she looks thin...I like it!
I can hardly wait for bbo#2...I did too much wrong..lol

Fast flight eh?

With that one node so close to the tip....
Did you sorta forget about it and just match up the distance from the 2nd node on that tip to the first on the other?

I imagine being so close it was in a non bending section.

Thanks!

Roy..thats a amazing looking bow!!!!!  FF material..what happen you have a brain fart and forgot you like that rope B50     nah FF seems to handle a lot of bows better I feel

Hell Roy thats a beauty! You use water or alcohol based stain there?
Anyway I gotta start a new attempt on making my own BB- propably a BBB^^

Fast flight? Don't they use that stuff on compounds? Does that mean you're putting compound parts on your bows now?

Used alcohol based aniline dye. Ya I know FF, going to make a B-50 string for it too and compare them. I've never used FF on a bow before except I make the tillering strings out of it so they don't stretch out on me. I space a node equally at the flares or one in the center of the handle, whichever works out best. Just depends on the piece of boo.

I'm gonna try some D97 soon. I got it, just haven't twisted one up yet.

Only trouble with the newer string material is it's so thin, guess I'll have to double serve it or do something to thicken it up at the arrow nock, not sure how I'm gonna do it yet. Hate to double serve it.

Plastic nocks can be bend narrower- or ya talkin bout selfnocks?

Both, Moe. I shoot three under so I need a snug fitting nock. Will prolly just do one serving and then wrap something on the serving right at the nock point. I tie on my nock points, one above and one below the nock. So I have wrapped the area between them before when using B-50. FF will just need more padding.

She turned out real sweet, Roy. Glad you got here down to your weight.

Roy
I don't know what size serving your using but the easiest way to have a snug nock is instead of double serving   Wrap plain ol masking tape around the string a few times then serve   Very durable and cheap and will last the life if string. I use a 12 or 14 strands if 8190 and wrap 3 full rotations using a 4" piece around the nock area. Wrap the full length of tape you cut out and not width of tape  I serve with 0.24  to 0.30 serving and  I get snug nocks and they work great   No need to waste all the extra serving if you do it this way. But one thing is when you wrap the tape cut in angle so when you wrap it has a taper and the serving material goes smoothly up the slight taper.

Roy, I only have one fast flight string, had the same problem.  I added a few, I think 6 short strands of B50 then served over it.  Been shooting it almost every day now for several months with no problems.  I just did a section about 4 to 5 inches long where the nock hits and enough room for my fingers.

15 strands of D97 with .025 serving holds onto Bohning Classic nocks just fine for me.

Bowjunkie, D97 changes the feel of shooting a wooden bow in a very noticeable and desirable way. probably shoots a faster arrow, too, but you'll need a chronograph to prove it. I don't understand why anyone would keep using B-50 on their wooden bows if they can get Dynaflight. is no comparison, imo. and it is absolutely a myth that dynema fiber strings will do harm to wooden bows.
