Nice work man 

Great Build Along. Really nice bow, I like the way it turned out.

Love this thread. That one turned out nice. And its got some draw left in it to.   

Looks Great 

Nice job Did you rub out the finish, or do you have to wait with the T-Bird?

Great build! I appreciate all the pics.
I like your design. Really graceful, and looks like plenty of power too

Flem I just waited til it was fully cured , they suggest 7 days

Tools that I used, my 6x80" edge sander is a game changer for me.

Some final thoughts, it so neat to be able to make your own bows. I've always liked the Shrew, Javaman style longbows and have held a few and really looked them over.
This one is longer than most Shrews at 62" but I'm not a super short bow fan, I have it braced between 7 5/8"- 7 3/4" and like the way it feels and seems very smooth in the draw. I will be shooting through a chrony on Sat and will let you know the results.
Thanks again for all the kind comments.
If you have any additional questions I'd be glad to answer them.

Nice tools there.

Nice arsenal of tools. Looks like your ready to start a business

I do custom woodworking as my day job, so I do own some equipment. I'd like to sell a few bows a year to maybe fund family vacation or a hunt now and then.

Yes !! I wanna buy one of these!!! 

Mission accomplished 

Nice build and nice bow...  You got her done quick too...  You gonna tweak anything on the next one??  Hope you get good #'s on the chrony... Don't forget to list all the details... Speed means nothing without the details...

Ok men I was able to get some arrows through a chrony yesterday and here are the results.
550 grain arrow 3 shot average 172
480 grain arrow 3 shot average 183
Again the bow is 50# @ 28"
Here is what I call my stuff

I like it !
Great looking logo.

Thats a great graphic You design that?
I'm kind of surprised they let you post it.

  I would say that is about 179 @10gpp...That is a decent speed, especially for the first bow off the form...  A little tweaking may put you in the mid 180's...  Well done, Bro...
