I don't think you'll forget. But I should hurry I suppose to get there before the doc fixes you up, that way the smack is more like a pat.

Hi guys, I finally finished my kennym bow form and my digitally controlled owen. It is powered by 6x75w ligtbulbs and gets to 80°C (aprox. 180°F) in 20 minutes and stays within 2°C the whole time. I have small PC fan to help air circulation. The form is just hung on 3 eyelets.  Here is few pics.

I think you need to figure out how to post pictures.

Show up fine on my screen.

Yup they are now.

I've been making turkey calls for Christmas gifts.  Never made one before so it's kind of a fun new experience.  Maybe some pics later.  Depends on how photogenic they are!  

Took my dad to get some POC arrows today. Was able to get a few shots off with him in the rain and snow. All his arrows hit the target at 15 yds, I guess he still has muscle memory left!

This is the first bow he has owned since he was a kid. His draw is somewhere between 26.5 and 27 when we measured. In the video I'm thinking 26.5 as the arrows were cut 28.5 BOP. Bow is 40@28. He can shoot more, but I'd like him to be able to keep shooting it for awhile. I was happy with how quiet it was. For those of you following the swap, this is the sister bow to Ralph's.

My sister and I (along with my wife and niece) surprised the snot out of him at a surprise party for his 70th birthday on Saturday his friends threw him. He's still recovering.

Nice!!!!            

That's what I call making memories!! Good on ya David!

Nice David.

He shoots a heck of a lot better than you do..  

Just a hunch I have but I bet he loves the bow! Thanks for sharing.

This afternoon I finally got to something that's been lagging a long time: handle wraps for four bows that were otherwise finished this summer.

I got them cut and shaped to each riser with wetted veg-tan leather and stitched up tight:



Then I let them dry next to the fire:



Tomorrow I'll remove them from the bows, dye them, hit them with some finish/conditioner, and then stitch them back on with some barge cement to finish the deal. Three of them are due to go out in the mail once finished, although I might wait until the Christmas rush at the post office is over.

Very nice David.

classy

Very nice bows  

Nice wraps.    

What material did you lace with?

Very nice! Gonna be some happy people receiving those!

Today I got a bow heat tempered on the caul.  I'm going to back it with sinew.  

Dave, that looks like an osage bow, what's the deal?

Clint that's a mighty short bow ... One of those 100#@ 15" bows?

It's a 24" bow just for fun.  Going to see what kind of distance I can get out of it.
