Really nice bow John, thanks for the build along! I think there's a selfbow build in my future!

Thanks for the build along!

[John Scifres]

Well after many hours of work, and final finish with wrap and strike plate, she blew on final shoot-in.  I don't know what happened.  Bummed  :(

[fujimo]

sorry chap- it was looking so good, as always!

[Roy from Pa]

Sorry, John. I know how you feel..

[takefive]

Sad to hear it John.  I'm doing the final tiller on a mulberry bow that has me worried about the same thing.

[John Scifres]

Hell man.  Don't worry.  It's just wood and time.  May you have surplus of both  

[takefive]

Good advice, John.  I have more wood than time these days along with my usual shortage of patience.  

One thing I have learned: no more staves with big @%#&ing humps on the back for me.   :mad:

Thanks for the post. I learn a lots from it. I have a dogleg piece of maple that I was wondering how to straighten, and mark the center. Now I know!

Oh no! I just saw that she blew. Been there too. You handled it well. Jawge
