I don't like to cut in a shelf on anything but Glass bows

Waiting for USPS to deliver my clear glass today by 7:15

Looking good Max 

Made a sled for td limb wedges. Finished fitting the hardware to the form. Did a dry run.
Hopefully I will glue the first limb on this form tonight.

Can't wait to see this one with that hook.
I've made a few myself

The maple fairy dropped by today. I think I've got enough for a few bows if I do it right.

Serious hooks! Be keen to see the result

First limb glued up

Finished off an ash longbow a few weeks ago. Was a bit of a trial as I've not used it before - after osage and the local hardwoods, it felt as soft as butter. Took a bit of heat treating to align everything and get rid of some of the natural string follow. Has taken a heap of set despite some heat treating, but next time I'll go wider and trap the back a little to reduce it some.

63" NTN, 57lb @28"











I initially thought the right limb in the braced/full draw pics would be the bottom as it's a hair stiffer, but it feels a little better in the hand as the top limb. Not much hand shock, so now I need to add an arrow pass and a handle wrap. Finished with beeswax, which made the toasty wood darken up nicely. It didn't take me long to get confident with it and would be happy shooting it out to hunting distances with a 550gr (~9gpp) arrow. Fast she ain't, but it is whisper quiet - with a leather side-plate I reckon a bees fart would be louder.

How wide is it?

That is a beautiful circular tiller No wasted limb wood on that one!

Great tiller on a nice ash bow. Ash is one of those bow woods I don't have luck with. Everyone I've made fretted but I never heat treated an ash bow either. Well done on this ash bow.      

Been working on building a thickness sander for a while now. Got most of it assembled, just need to mount it to the stand and then mount the motor.

I tried first on my wood lathe and got it not bad, but certainly not perfect. After that a friend cleaned it up further on his metal lathe and it is very close now.
