Shoveled out animal pens all day ... Not the way to spend a snowy day or any other.

Now it's just waiting for the food .... Wings, guacamole, and homemade pizza ....

Sweet bow John!!          

Randy, ya got some blocks to put under that easy chair? It's too low to set and saw!!

Better'n TV for sure!!  

Nice bow and a nice saw too !

Very nice, John.
Saw is ok I guess

Bow party last night.

Look Mom, no gloves.

 

Kenny gluing up a bow and Jerry doing some final sanding.

 

Kenny's bow all glued up.

 

Jerry's first shot out of his first bow. Tiller looks good for his first bow build.

 

Looking good and no gloves? Man that guy is tough.  

Congrats Randy. There's nothing quite the same as enjoying a new power tool.

Y'all's a Buncha danged rebels!!!            
But your bows are "ok" I guess!!

At Doctors office now.. Fixin to get a shot and some antibiotics. Hope I can work in shop some tonight..I made a ILF recurve form last week and I need to made some wedges and glue up some limbs.

Another coat of clear on the bow... Got two great workouts in as well as a 6 mile run. Gonna be in top top shape this spring hunting season

I started a long overdue project today.............I started cleaning up the shop area................wife said shes had enough and I dont blame her.  I let it get way out of control.  Should be done in about three days to start my trade bow.  


Robert hope you feel better bud.  Get Helens new ILF bow up when you can

Glued up another riser, that is 3 sitting ready..have 2 sets of limbs just have to make a third when I get around to it..  

Shawn, I've been there. If I let it get bad I start to hear about it.

Went out to clean up the bench but before it was done there was suddenly this oak board bow blank in the vice??!!  Not sure how that happened.  Wife came out to the garage and pointing at the bench says "are you going to clean that up?".  With a perfectly straight face I answered "I already did, that's a whole new mess!".

Weather is so nice today.  Took a few pics of the project and will try to put them up...eventually.

Here are a few pics of this oak pyramid.  

Pyramid is a design I like to play with and boards are so dang inexpensive that it makes for a dandy experimentation medium.

Not classy like so many of you all build, but kinda fun.

This is the board with a walnut block glued up for the riser.  Did this months ago.
   


A look at the board.  You can see it is not ideal and will probably need a back.

 


Lay out at the tips.

 

 

rough riser shape.

 

 starting to look like a bow.

   

Elm tip overlay glued up with TBIII.  Wonder if it will stay on?  In the past these have been attached with epoxy or super glue.

   

Roughed out string nocks.

 

on the tillering stick.  I have yet to build one like Roy and Bowjunkie showed us, but it's in the works.

   

Thats as far as it will be drawn until it is backed.  Could be tomorrow or next month!

Looking good, Monterey.  I'm sure not trying to talk you out of backing your bow, but that grain looks pretty straight to me.  Also makes me want to make a pyramid bow one of these days.    
I have to check out this thread more often 'cuz you guys are posting  great bows on here.
Kinda disappointed in Roy, though.  I thought for sure he was going to claim that his group was from 30 yards.
