Ya all wanna see a BBO build?

[Roy from Pa]

I'm talking about a 1 inch wide vertical belt sander with an 8 inch round flat dics on the side.

Sounds good. Mark.

[Roy from Pa]

Fresh out of the form.

Ok  I have one of them.  I will have to try  it.

[Crooked Stic]

That is some good looking osage.

[Roy from Pa]

Right out of the form.

I lay the 12 inch purple heart riser on it's side and trace the arc of the bows riser onto it, then cut it out and sand for a perfect fit.

Oldrawhide, this is my small belt sander and I slide the Z splice into just the belt where the arrow is. At that point the belt is very flexible. I may have to sand it 5 or 6 times to get a good fit.

Roy thanks  i can see what you are doing now. I will try it if I ever build a wood bow .

[Roy from Pa]

It makes it so easy to get a perfect fit.

Thanks, Roy. Nice build along. 
That is some nice osage.

[Roy from Pa]

Thanks Pat.

Kenny sent me the Osage 2 years ago and it is at 10% moisture content and very sweet. About 3 or 4 more bows left in it too:)

[Mad Max]

Did you offset the riser on this one??

[Roy from Pa]

Not yet, still contemplating it:)

Been 2 years since I did the last bow so my brain is a little rusty:)

Kenny, don't even say it:)
