2017 Bow Swap

[Krasus]

Tigerwood veneers with edge grain hickery core. Wood on the left is lace wood that I'm gonna use in the handle riser

[Dan Landis]

Finally got a new backing strip cut and prepped, and glued the bow up today.  Hope to get it unclamped and cleaned up tomorrow.  Will try to get a pic up when I get that far.

Look's good krasus

worked on mine some this weekend

Worked a little bit this weekend.  I am working on a new form for a recurve.  I built the original form for my first recurve last summer and decided to tweak it a little bit before I make another.  I guess I am using my victim as a "guinea pig".  I am going to have to just guess on stack thickness for making weight.

I was also thinking it might be a good idea to say if we shoot 3 under or split.  I don't think that was in the original sign up.  If my guy sees this, I shoot 3 under.

Re sawed the veneers today and sanded them down some.
I'm going to wait till close to glueup to sand them to .030.

Shaping my riser and should hopefully be glued up this weekend.

Max, that's going to be a real beauty.

I'm going to plan B, my plan A just popped a big split on my hickory backing strip, about 8" from the tip.  Had it almost to my recipient's draw length when it popped.  Plan B will be an osage bend through the handle bow.

Maxi-son, those are real sweet....

[Mad Max]

Thanks Guy's
