You are shipping bow making material (wood box) with the bow.

Some of kenny's "packing materials" are my favorite accent pieces

Yup.  Someday I'm going to build one with packing strips under clear glass.  😀

How about clear resin casted strand board then grind veneers.

I've gotten the profile and back cleaned up. So once I have it floor tillered I'll heat treat and even out the side profile while I'm at it.

I decided to get another leather stamp set that'll be awesome for a handle wrap. So I'm waiting to finish out the handle wrap on the wonky Osage bow until these are in.

So after some more sanding and adding a small shelf to help the new owner it is still holding 6 inches of reflex.

I've got my strings made up and I shot the bow a bit more than necessary probably

Got the packaging ready to go and after a couple photos, off to the victim

I got the black locust heat treated and bent into a more even shape. I didn't mess with the left and right since I left the tips 1" wide and the handle a bit wide to pull everything in line that way. I also didn't like how shalllow the handle was so I glued on a block from trimming the stave down to size. I used the Ferrier rasp and a sand paper wrapped block of wood to make the joints so tonight I'll see how the joint turned out. Fun part is I glued on that block for maybe 3/8" of extra handle depth. But at the point a couple omhours of handle clean up and tillering and it'll be ready to shoot in.

After sanding I saw it needed some more high gloss sealer coats.Must dry a couple of days before I can sand it off.

[Crooked Stic]
