You would think someone with the last name of painter could draw better than that...

I'm a bowyer not an artist:)

I like those 3 spikes on top

My most fantastic and painful (in many ways) blowup was on a super snaky bow.  Took a shot to the ribs that left a nasty bruise.  Thankfully no head damage.  But I'm sure YOU'LL be fine

Thanks John
I heat corrected some propeller out of one limb last week.
The dog leg area (the hump on the right) has been wanting to bend from the start, so I clamped a 3/16"x 4" long scrap piece to the belly while doing the floor tiller, and it still is wanting to bend, so I glued 3 veneers .020 each (.060) and now it's NOT bending.
I braced it to 3" the other day while scraping and now to 5"
And the serving wrap is off
I'm getting somewhere now

That's quite the bowstring you have there with the turnbuckles. You could fool a newbie into believing that they're there to adjust brace height.

Love the bow string. Hope it works out for ya Mark.

[Mad Max]

Thats a patent pending 6 color bow string

Here is the patch of veneers I glued to the belly.
This is where the serving wraps were.
With the linen on the back and the veneers on the belly it should be good.

I guess it's ok.
