Juniper limb build along

<< < (4/6) > >>

Gordon:
Another question. You pictures seem to suggest that you glue blocks down for your tips and then cut a V. Is that really how you do it? If so how?

Thanks Keenan, your bow is awesome.

Keenan:
 Yes Gordon, I just find square blocks easier to clamp and you dont have to worry about perfct line up. I trim don on the band say but not to close to nick the back of the bow. Then I use a half round bastered file round side toward tip to finish out.and sometimes a rat tail file.Dosen't take very long and you can control where the point ends up. Hope that heps.
  Seems that if I pre-taper the tip material, that sometimes the glue lets things slip around and the piont dosn't line up with the the limb.  Keenan

Gordon:
Excellent Keenan. That explains it perfectly. Thank you!

Keenan:
 Had a friend asking about the process on this bow so pulled it up again.    Keenan

Gordon:
And I enjoyed looking at it all over again. Your workmanship is second to none.
