I always hold my breath when doing that, but never try it with the bow strung for obvious reasons:)

You do tie on nocks like I do..

Yes, much easier to adjust and USUALLY easy to take off 

I use a very sharp knife and lay it flat on the string and cut angling up so as not to cut any of the main strands, but for some reason this nock wouldn't come off so I pushed a pair of scissors through a little loop that had formed. There must have been a sharp edge somewhere on the back and *POP* it was too late 

Moral of the story: don't be in a rush (not that I needed to be anyway  )

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

[attachment=1]
Yes Stic, it is mounted to the granite. I have two sets of drill guides. One for riser and one for limbs.  The Allen screws lock the guides into place.

I went with one bolt and two pins so that I don't have to flip the riser or the guide to drill both sides of riser.

Take two straight pieces of wood, 18" to 24" long and lay one across each end of the form. Sight down the form. If it's straight, you should only see one stick. If it's twisted, you'll see it right away.

Aha, I get it now.   I'm going to try that.   

The stick thing works. Just got to square them with the side of the form tho. You can also do it on the bow strung and unstrung.

Curly dark Etimore

Nice!
Dave.

Mike that is sharp..

Wow...  That is some Rich Looking wood there Stic...

Thats some really deep, dark figure in that wood Stic Did you enhance the color or is that natural?

Got this stuff from Timberhawk at Cloverdale. It is a veneer co. That he uses and sells for also.
It is natural out of their package. It is real consistent in thickness also

Concrete mercenary again today, helped old boss pour a bridge deck...

Also glued up a bow blank...

Holy crap !! Anybody need a bow blank ? Sposed to be 43 and will end up 55
LOL

Starting another one now...

Done zero yesterday and today. Acute sinus attack. Z pack and kleenex close buy.
Kenny human error or glass issue ?
I done a design change in this lastest TD longbow to get a better bend
. First set way heavy second set a bit light (but I sold my personal TD Sooo ) 3rd set pretty close.

Bvas mine is bolted to a steel plate. Only one block. I drill from both sides so I keep the same side down. But I need to have the block machined for drill bushings in the 1/4 holes

I compared some notes and all I can see is the glass was green and .043 instead of .040.  I figured stack with the .086 worth of glass with total stack the same. 

I need to check spine on it compared to .040 ...

The other bows had walnut and spalted hackberry for veneers , so that may have made a little diff but shouldn't be too much.

I done a green one awhile that come in heavy. And thinking someone else on here to had same issue.

I got a hair cut.

Ya happy Kenndy?

I flipped my ODO another year.
