Bow? Oh, right - sorry, Heff-ee. Put the bow on the line. Enquiring minds(?) want to know what she has to say -  

Jeff, Hows the bow coming? can you post more pic's.

as soon as the glue dries i will take a pic of the handle i glued on. sorry but this is going to take a while as sal said take it slow so iam doing just that.    back soon stay tuned

Bow? What bow?

Killdeer~Sorry, it's the glue talking.

You been licking the envelopes again Kathy???  

you will see it soon killie dear.    after tomorrow as i will be working on it and taking pics on the way. thats if my buddy up the road lets me use his work shop as he has all the neat stuff to use.  
yeha!!!!

oh yeah can i use super glue to glue the tips on or do i have to use 2 pot epoxy? i am going to use pecan wood for the tips  but if that is not right i will use  purpple heart or antler. your input please. thank you

Jeff, I use TiteBond II all the time for tips. A quality carpenters glue will do.

what is titebond i have never heard of that

I thought about that, sorry Jeff. It's a crapenters glue.

ok i see hey dano thanks for your help it means a lot to me man now i must go and do some more on the bow i just looked at the handle and it is stuck real good you would need a sledge hammer to take that sucker apart.LOL!!! will have pics later.

ok im back and here it is on short tiller about 12" oh yeah note the handle i should have put that on first   left limb needs more by the looks of things.  so iam out of here to do some more later.

ok people im back and here is a few pics first one is me making string nocks out of antler    
the second one is bow at my 26" draw and #42
   
and this one i could not wait to shoot it so i shot a few arrows at 10 yards     :D          
and one happy camper    
   
but as ya can see i aint used to shooting this style of bow he he he he    now for all the sanding and finishing with tru oil.

Jeff the left limb looks to have a hinge in it. also the other limb needs to bend more near the mod-limb. But for your first bow it looks great.

well sel if i take anymore offit it would be around #30 or 35 any way it aint to bad for my first one. plus when i looked at the grain i saw that it runs off the side a bit. i didnot notice that when i startsd to make it. never mind the next one will have to be good grain but hell this is fun. LOL!!!! about the hinge if i take some wood out of the other limb say about the fade out that should fix that little problem.

Jeff, you would take wood off either side of the hinge, distributing the stress evenly. The right limb could stand to bend in the outer limb. I know your next bow will be better, My first bow looked a lot like yours.

ok dano thank you for the info the next one i will do out of maple if i can lay my hands on some. back to the board. later

Jeff, My first bow come out to 30#. 20# lighter then I wanted... Next one will be better.... Still a nice bow for the first one.

here is another pic i just took somemore off the limbs.   its a little bit better now. oh forgot to tell ya its now #39 at my draw.  

The right limb has a flat spot in the mid limb. How long is this bow? you may me able to pike it (shorten) or heat treat the belly to gain a little wieght back. But I would get the tiller right, just because this is your first, it's a good lesson.
