2018 What did you do today?

BMorv · November 14, 2018, 09:29:22 AM

Thanks Shredd. I have only shot a few arrows through it while tillering, and it has some nice qualities so far, but I still have to tiller to full draw. It's been raining here for 3 days straight, and unfinished wood bows and rain don't mix well.

Got another one tillered yesterday.

Osage belly, yew core, backed with boo.

64", 49# @ 28 inches, 1/8th negative tiller.

I really like the looks of your bows.

BMorv · November 15, 2018, 09:05:03 PM

Tiller looks real nice on this one Roy.

Looking good

Thanks guys.

Nice job ol boy!!

Nice, I'm surprised they have such a nice shop at the old folks home.

I put the final touches on an ASL that I built for my cousin. It came out pretty good but I'm not sure about the bamboo under the clear glass (grass under gwass?) I thought it would be a little more dramatic. Oh well, thanksgiving dinner next week so that should catch up on the drama!

68" NTN, 40# @28" Black glass back, Maple cores, bamboo under Clear Bear Paw glass on the belly, osage riser.

Looks good Mike!! I built one with aboo under clear, I wasn't impressed with the look either but some guys like it...

Forwardhandle · November 16, 2018, 01:52:14 PM

Another nice one Mike

monterey · November 16, 2018, 02:01:49 PM

Thanks guys, I did the boo for compression resistance but now I wish I'd put colored glass over it. My thoughts on compression resistance are probably erroneous anyway.

I'm going to put some ipe under there next time around.

Roy from Pa · November 16, 2018, 03:31:52 PM

Pretty nice Mike.

Roy from Pa · November 16, 2018, 03:33:53 PM

Just got to bear camp in the mountains. Couple does greeted me.

BMorv · November 16, 2018, 03:51:14 PM

That's pretty sweet Roy.
Going hit the woods myself....

Wolftrail · November 16, 2018, 07:36:32 PM

Sweet bow monterey.

monterey · November 16, 2018, 09:14:25 PM

Thanks guys.

I'm all done with big game hunting for this year. Kinda makes me jealous seeing all these hunting pictures.

bigbob2 · November 16, 2018, 10:49:05 PM

Nice bows Roy and Monterey!

I am working on this trilam today, I think I am getting there. I have been looking and looking so much that I do not know what I am seeing. To me it looks like the left limb has a bit more bend at approx midlimb. What do you see?

Perhaps right limb should be bending a bit more two thirds out, I think I will call it a day.

Roy from Pa · November 18, 2018, 11:22:34 AM

Not too bad, Bue but I think it needs to bend more right outside of the riser on top and bottom.

Then some in the outer 3rds of both limbs.

Seems a lot of the bend is just outside of those short lines I drew above it.

Do you have a gizmo?
