Too hot to bow hunt!!

Well it's entirely too hot to get out and hunt so I thought I might as well build a bow! I received some supplies from KennyM this week and I already had some myrtle veneers and riser block. Hopefully get the bow glued up by tomorrow! I've always loved the look of Myrtle!

That is a naturally shadowy camo bow!!

Yes it will be Kenny. I saw these veneers for sale on Facebook back in June and had to snatch them up.

Every time I think I have figured out my favorite wood someone pops one up I haven't see yet and I have a new favorite.

Thanks Dannon, now I have to reevaluate my life choices.... again.

Thanks everyone! I hope to get it glued up tonight or tomorrow.

Those look great!
And you are right about it being too hot. It's too hot and there's knee high water and huge mosquitoes in my hunting area. I love hunting but not that much.

Got the bow glued up the other day. Laid out the limbs and was getting ready to cut them out. I turned on my bandsaw and it swarmed on me. I shut it off and opened the bottom cover to see that my rubber tire on the bottom wheel had broke in half. So I have to put it off for a couple days till I get one in the mail.

I'm sure a lot of you guys already use something like this but for those that don't this really helped with my riservoverlays. I made this jig to clamp my bow in while glueing on overlays. Keeps the overlays from sliding around and really made quick work of this.
