finally started my newest selfbow

[Mad Max]

Thanks, Mark.
Was the Classic a classic?

It was a good one

[Pat B]

Finally, braced and full draw...

[Walt Francis]

Well done Pat!

[Mad Max]

Really nice pat

[Pat B]

I'll have to say this has been a difficult build for me with the concave back and all the knots. A few years ago I wouldn't have given it a second thought. It has got me thinking about another one. 

[Mad Max]

Did you do some more heat bending to get the handle set back toward you?

[Pat B]

That came with the stave, Mark. Besides side to side bending I only added overall reflex.

[Mad Max]

 

[Roy from Pa]

Looks very nice Pat.

I have an osage stave Mark sent me and your build here will help me with it.

I've only ever done 2 stave bow builds.

[Ken Sorg]

Beautiful bow Mr Pat!

[Pat B]

Thanks, Guys.
Roy, any help I can give all you gotta do is ask. Looking forward to your build. Do you have one of Eric's  tiller Gizmos?

[Roy from Pa]

Yes I have a gizmo, I use it on every bow I make...

[Mad Max]

The back on that stave should be good Roy but I'm not sure. Get one of your buddies that can see to look at it

[Roy from Pa]

It doesn't look bad you cleaned it up some, maybe a little scraping and it should be good.

I'm red-green color blind and chasing rings is tuff for me for some reason.

It's a little snaky, not much and you already have some lines drawn on it.

I could head out to Bowjunkies with it, he's very good at self bows.

It's next inline to be worked on, had to make 3 tries for the swap bow and have another for a buddy almost done.

If I started laying out the bow, it should be good unless it got a ding on it in shipping

[Roy from Pa]

No dings...

[Buemaker]

Looking great

[Pat B]

Thanks, Bue.
