Nice arc of a circle bend, Roy. How's she shoot?

Thanks Pat..

Shoots pretty darn good.

Bending good Roy.

Bow looks good hippie ... er Roy!! 

If you have a drum sander run the blank thru it after you get the big boggers off it. Take down to width. then move your square in or out untill you find the center by swapping sides and the line cover each other. the mark the tips a riser then string it most times it will be good..

Nice bow Roy. Sweet sweep to it at full draw.

A friend went to some trouble to bring some turkey feathers in the hope I could use them for arrows. I have always bought my fletches precut, but my friend is one of the good guys so I decided to have a go at making my own fletches. Liked the idea of burning rather than die cutting, because the fletches on each arrow would closely match each other. Used an old door hinge for a grinding clamp. Beveled the edges thinner to make grinding the quill easier. Got an old 40 watt Lionel train transformer (WWII vintage) to heat up the nichrome burning wire. Made a wire shaping jig out of masonite to form the wire. Had a couple of raven feathers around, so I used those for cock feathers on two of the arrows. The experiment worked out ok. Some pix below show the setup and outcome.

Thanks guys.

Nice job on those feathers, Joel.

Good looking arrows.

Met this one on the bike path this morning.   Looks like it just ate a family of mice.

If you take that bow, you could help feed the tribe

Fletching wood arrows today.

Nice Brad and Bue..

LOL Flem, I'm a little past due for a hair cut...

Looking good everybody. Like that riser Bvas.
How about a pic of that drill jig. Is it mounted on the corian or marble ??

Looking good guys!

Using the Thorne method of eliminating limb twist.  It is making the twist worse! 

Filing the nock deeper on the side with the X.

I dunno Mike, looks like it has a long way to go?

Thorne says file the X side but it seems to b getting worse 🤔

Maybe some needs to be taken off the limb sides?

Before you do any more filing I would double, triple check your limb alignment...  Making sure your limb profiles are centered...
