First, apologies I've been AWOL. All is good here, just can't figure out where the time goes lately. Things seemed kind of turned upside down the last couple of months. I'll respond to the messages y'all have sent shortly, just wanted to look through the thread first.

Great to see all the awesome progress. No pressure, but we're less than three weeks away. Theoretically, that should be enough time for Bue's bow to make it to the final destination. Next week is all rain here, so I plan to put some time in down at the shop and get this thing glued up. All the supplies are in and I don't want to be the guy who doesn't make the deadline!

Today I prepared veneers and sanded a new set of lams for my plan B. Hopefully I ´ll get it glued up by end of the week

Moving along slowly. This riser block is giving me fits. Can't seem to get rid of this hairline gap around half the blasted thing. Making a pattern sander when this is finished.

I fought those hairlines too and unfortunately my equipment doesn't lend itself to pattern sanding,  so.... I take a strip of 36 or 60 grit that is wider than the piece by a bit and tape it onto the form with at least an inc or a bit more longer than the riser block at each end.  If the sand paper is not long enough you. Might need to splice.  Set your block on top of the paper paying close attention to the centering.  Put some serious pressure on it and work it up and down the form in short strokes.   

You can follow the progress by looking at the sand paper.  The areas with no sawdust are the areas that are not yet fitted.

Just to clarify before I do it, you move the riser length-wise or width-wise on the form?  Thanks for the help!

Cross.

up and down the form in very short strokes.  I think across will end up rounding the back of the rizer side to side.

I received a box from the other side of the Atlantic this evening!!!

Pictures to come tomorrow...

You lucky dog Dave! I've been checking my mail hoping to find it!

Thanks monterey!

You may be right about ronnding the riser side to side a bit. either way it is gonna take awhile. I always went cross ways for making template patterns but they are 1/4 plywood.

Just been to the post office to pick up a package from America. Must be the arrow shafts I ordered.

Man Bue that is a lot of arrows. 

I am a happy man today. I was lucky to receive Mike's nicely made blue bow, even comes with a blue colored bowstring. I shot a few arrows last evening and it fits me very well, nice shooter. I will have lots of fun with this one. Thanks Mike.
I am trying to post pics, but the attachments option do not seem to work, I'll try again later.

Maybe.

That's a great looking bow! You are very lucky!

Evil. Even if you get your handle block to fit your form it may not fit when you get your lams under it. That changes it all. Better to place your lams on the form and mark your handle after that.

Glad you are liking the bow Bue. Everybody seems to like that grip. What do you think?
