Some wild Zebrano

Gluing overlay. I have two curves in the making.

Hmm I got me some overlay forms like that.   

Wow! Some very nice bows are to be built !

I get jealous every time I see a picture of Bue's shop...

Bue, do you just use regular tye wraps to hold it all together before you have air in the hose?

Yes, ordinary zip ties on top of metal strip. I pump the hose up to about 20 pounds and let it sit for about 10 minutes. If all is well up to 35-40 pounds, look it over and cut and pull out ties. Then up to 50-55 pounds.
One time I forgot to remove ties, but all was well after curing.I guess as long as ties are on top of metal strip it is okay.
I do the same with bow limbs.

Good to know, it seems like a better option than tape!

Those ties work real well on the recurve tips to bend them around the form.

Not much to show for the victim.

Will be a nice handle.

Thanks Bue hoping I hit the weight for Mr. victim.

Got a bit of shaping done on attempt number two... or is it three , or four???

Not sure bout this attempt yet, may go to attempt 5 ...

Kenny that looks like it will fit my hand pretty good. 

Seems pretty small, a 15" riser just don't seem like enough. 

That's a sexy little riser Kenny!

Here is a 12-3/4" riser Kenny

It will be fine Kenny I make 13 In. Seems you got to shorten them up if you are going with short bow and longer draw.

Yup just looks little in my hand!! LOL

Nother snippet ...

Wow! That things coming together! Wouldn't hurt my feelings if that bow shipped to me.
