Well, you're not gonna believe this  ...but I finished tillering yesterday and have started adding the Tru Oil finish. While Mark is out of town I thought I'd copy his rattan handle  so don't tell him    and I'm gonna use a floppy rest. The bow was coming out a little light so I piked it about 2". She's now 62" N/N and 64" T/T and pulls about 43#@26" and shoots pretty good. Not gonna add tip overlays, just gonna keep her pretty simple.
Just so you don't think I'm fibbing I added a pic...

Can't wait to see it all finished

Getting close. I'll post a tease a bit later.

Just a tease...

 

So the high tech yin to your yang bow would be Compound "W"?

I wanted to take more pics and spray satin poly today but it's raining. Maybe it will clear up enough this afternoon to get it done.

Had to go around my elbow to get these up.
Just sprayed the bow. Will have more pics with a full draw later.

 

Nice pat

Sweet!

That is looking Sweet!

That looks like it's really comfy in the hand Mr. Pat!

Thanks guys. If weather permits I'll get the rest of the pics taken tomorrow. 

Well, it wasn't tomorrow but I did get some pics today for you guys. I'll get a full draw pic when Marcia finishes with our taxes.


unbraced after shooting a dozen or so arrows

Bows with knots on the back like that just amaze me.

Very nice, Pat.

Thanks Roy. If the back ring was chased cleanly around the knots the bow should be very safe. The tree supplies extra wood around branches to support the branches.

Yes I understand that, opposed to 1/4 sawn belly wood that has a pin knot exploding:) LOL

I'm planning on making some BBO bows with flat sawn billets.

I think they would be sharp as heck..

Really nice Pat love the knots 

Thanks, Mark.
Was the Classic a classic?
