2017, What did you do today?

I punished a hickory bow that wouldn't behave, I got tired of fooling with it.

Just think, deer tenderloin cooking over a hickory bow wood laced fire.

Hah, Eric your firewood would be my best work.

Working on form templates today. First up is an RD design for some grandkid bows. Might also scale down to a 48" Bow for the two younger kids.

Probably one of my favorite things being a bowyer... Making and designing a new Bow... Enjoy...

That's what I'm worrying about.

I'm interested in your unfiltered opinions.

I like it, it should work well, depending on where the nocks land on it. I'd make the nocks be about 1.5" toward target ahead of back. Kids aren't gonna be too critical of bow speed, but it should at least penetrate gramps' tire, not a complete pass thru, just one sidewall.....

kennym · June 20, 2017, 07:38:00 PM

I built a similar looking 50" D/R and here are the specs...

2 -- .030 glass
.003 total taper
14" riser
.240 total stack
24#@22" and 28# @24 (max draw)

I think David Flanrey has the form now....

Tip wedges?

kennym · June 20, 2017, 08:26:00 PM

I don't remember doing tip wedges or power lams.

kennym · June 20, 2017, 08:26:00 PM

But I would prob use em now. At 60% size of course....

monterey · June 20, 2017, 10:17:00 PM

60% of what? :confused: your talkin to a dumbass ASL builder.

monterey · June 20, 2017, 10:18:00 PM

You sell those wedges don't you?

kennym · June 20, 2017, 11:21:00 PM

Roy from Pa · June 21, 2017, 02:40:00 PM

I really like this one, functional art.

Bodork · June 21, 2017, 07:07:00 PM

That's pretty! A lot of work went into that riser

billy dryden · June 21, 2017, 11:13:00 PM

Pago that is one fantastic looking bow. If it shoots half as good as it looks(I am sure it will shoot every bit as good as it looks) the critters are in big trouble.

Crooked Stic · June 22, 2017, 01:58:00 AM

Nice Pago. That worked out well in the throat area.
I got another one coming up just waiting on some buffalo hide.
Ziricote and curly riser with some birdseye veneers.
