BBO tri-lam--A little help from ROY--(UPDATE) full draw

[Mad Max]

A while back Roy sent (traded) me some Boo backing ready to glue up.
Thanks Roy
Bamboo Back, bamboo floor for the core, and Osage vertical grain belly
64" NTN 52#@28"-- African Black wood tips.

[Mad Max]

These are about Halfway threw the tiller @ 19"
Here is a  couple when I was tillering.

Needs to bend more at brace

[Flem]

Looks like a ELB style tiller you got going on there. I like the funky finish, what exactly did you do to get that look?

[Pat B]

That's a nice one, Mark. I also like the finish on the back. 

[Mad Max]

Flem---That's not the finished Tiller ---More pic. tomorrow 
Google--Mouth Atomizer

you can wipe on alcohol dye, then blow alcohol with the Mouth Atomizer, and a small brush with 1 or 2 hairs on it to drop dye or alcohol on.
Takes time to play around with it.

Thanks Pat, That James Parker finish is hard to do.

[Mad Max]

Here is the finished bow




Here is a close up Flem

[KenH]

Rockin' nice bow there, Max!

[Flem]

Mark, you are the King of cool finishes!
Still looks like a ELB style tiller to me. Circular and bending deep into the fades. I like it, no wasted limb

This is my 2nd one, I thought it was suppose to bend all the way?
Thanks guy's

[Buemaker]

Looking good.

[Flem]

Seem like most of the built up riser trilams I have seen pics of don't bend that deep into the handle.
I always hate to see all that meat going to waste

[Shredd]

Looks good Brudder...

[Pat B]

IMO, that is what a well tillered R/D bow should look like at full draw. I don't like seeing those outer limbs unopened like lots of the R/D bows show these days. Well done, Mark.

  Totally agree...

[Mad Max]

Thanks guy's
Making a self bow or wood laminated bow has been a hard road for me.
I F up more than I get right.

[Mad Max]

[Roy from Pa]

I guess it's ok for a guy who blows alcohol.....

[Mad Max]
