I started on a r/d this weekend for a friend of mine.

Here it is fresh off the form and strung up for the first time.

 

 
john in that picture of your form-it looks like a thick material on the surface--rubber? instead of formica?
looks like the tiller is great right off the form!!nice!!

yeppers..

Took about two nights in the basement workroom ( which is directly under our bed)..scrape, scrape scrape...squeak squeak go the pulleys...

My otherwise very supportive Wife suddenly didn't care for my hobby quite as much...lol

So I found a new place for such projects...
Happy Wife Happy Life!

Wow John! Stellar job. Tiller looks pretty darn good!

How did the draw weight come out?

I'm glad I've got another mad man building these bows! I'm just finishing up mine of the same style. Will also post soon.

Really glad to see all that planning worked out. Actually I think yours came out much better than mine in tiller. I added more reflex tot he tips, and it gives it a really overstrained look to it ... hopefully it holds.

Mine too. I think they're all related -- it's probably the whole X chromosone thing. Although there are always exceptions to any broad statment, very few wives seem to understand why you would need to build more than one bow. But try to compare it to needing only one pair of shoes and you're on the couch.

pm sent Ben.
...the overstrained is brought up..

I got her down to 54#....she was about 35# just to get it to brace.

Hoping to lose a bit during shooting in.
If not I'll just scrape a tad more..GOTTA LOVE WOOD BOWS!

I'm really liking this style so far Ben.
Thanks for letting me infringe on your design.
