friendship bow circle
Justin Snyder:
Well Pat your off the hook. I started tillering it today and it was tracking funny because I hadn't got enough of the twist out. I decided to tweak it with only heating a small section of the limb so I wouldn't loose all of the reflex again. I knew I was pushing it a little hard with the minimum amount of heat, and it blew.
Sorry Chris, I know it was just starting to look like a bow. Keenan and I have already made arrangements for your new stave, so no worries. Justin

Man O Man It is like losing a good friend and I never laid a hand on it or evel laid eyes on her till now. Sorry Justin, I know how you feel. Kenneth
Justin Snyder:
Thanks Kenneth. I have only been making bows for a couple of years, but I have broken my share. I have learned not to get to depressed, but it still sucks. I could always quit pushing myself so hard, but then I wouldn't learn as much. I guess that is part of being an adrenalin junkie. You are always pushing the envelope. Justin
Pat B:
:'( Pat
Pat B:
Better you than me. ;D Sorry about this, Justin but if you ain't breakin' them, you ain't makin' them!!! William Vanderhey said, in "The Secrets of the Omaha Bow" there are 2 kinds of bowyers, those that have broken bows and those that have not yet broken bows. Save that bow because you may find another limb somewhere to match the good one. Pat
