Quick form question, would 1/2" beech dowels be sufficient for a rubber band type form?  If not, I have 3/4" ash dowels available to me as well.

Shredd, quit making us (me) look bad, both in your promptness and quality of your work.

These are all looking awesome! Great job everyone! I am going to need to add some accents to my green glass to fancify it a bit. All of your veneers are making me wish I went clear glass.

Yeah....  I used to use surgical tubing when I used rubber band type forms.  I was laying up a bow and pulling the tubing tight, broke one of the 3/8" maple dowels I was using on the form and managed to punch myself in the face.

I got a nice shiner out of the deal.  No one believed me as to how it happened, so I just started telling everyone that my wife beats me....    :smileystooges:

ok so the most exercise some people get is jumping to conclusions but I noticed it's a lefty and I haven't looked through everyone recently but the last time I looked I was the only one....just saying. oh and jealousy will get you no where.

I'm the same as skeater, lefty but shoot a right handed bow since that's my dominant eye.  But I can shoot a lefty, so if tradbowyer has to forfeit his bow since he tried too hard to figure out who was making him a bow, I'll be happy to take it    :bigsmyl:

Grip and tip overlays glued up.  I use Smooth On for this, so I'll get back after it tomorrow.
