Yellow sparks are softwood, white is hardwood

Well played.

Got the riser ready to glue on this week, was ready to do it yesterday and had to have my dog put down so it will go on next week.

Sorry to hear that, Dan.

I know how you feel, been there a few times.

Made some good progress. Got a bow in the oven.

Did you get that bow OUT of the oven yet

Sorry Dan. Let me know if you need anything.

Sorry Dan, one of the roughest things we have to do.

Hate to hear that Dan, Renee's dog had to be put down last month. It sucks...

Shredd · March 13, 2021, 11:48:26 AM

Hey Rainman, That's a toughy... Feel for yah bro...

Shredd · March 13, 2021, 11:50:37 AM

Hey you guys... that spark joke is going deep... Y'all are joking in code now...

Buemaker · March 13, 2021, 11:53:14 AM

Shredd, do you use an electric blanket?

Shredd · March 13, 2021, 12:03:19 PM

Yes Sir... Slowly get it up to about 110*... I think it is all you really need... Just enough to get them molecules to move around to cure properly...

Got a string and rest on it, just need to get it packaged up.

Great looking bow!

Thanks Walt, hopefully it's new owner likes it.

Walt Francis · March 13, 2021, 02:01:49 PM

Rainman,

Sorry for your loss. Been there numerous times, it is one of the toughest things I have done.

Shredd · March 13, 2021, 05:09:53 PM

Got it rough sanded... Came in 2# over the weight expected... I am happy with that since I fixed my sander (was not sanding accurate) and I tweaked my hyper lam to give me a stiffer tip area... I'll make my weight easily... The last three inches are not moving at all... She is 1/8" negative tiller, which you can probably see in the pics... The pics are at a low brace height since I don't have the tip blocks on yet...
