white ash build along (finally done( this time for real))
fishfinder401:
sorry about the stop in progress, ive had allot of home work, was making a new fishing rod, and ive also had to check out colleges, hopefully ill have some more progress shown. i should have the tips on soon, ive got them ruffly shaped and drilled out, i just need to cut the knocks and fit them to the bow. i also got some nice leather for the handle form an old suitcase ;D

So I'm guessing you've finished tillering? Where did she end up at?
fishfinder401:
not finished tillering, ive done most of it with the long string, and im going to do the short string with the horn nocks on, because i dont want to cut too deep of temp nocks in and the string has already slipped once or twice and i have low ceilings so i don't want to chance it, ill actually post pics of the horn tips before i put grooves in it in a minute, should i do grooves before or after attachment?
thanks
noel
fishfinder401:
ok. here are the tips so far, im not sure why it looks weird, it was the best of the pics i took though

I would totally shape the tips and cut the string grooves before I installed them on the bow. You will have to do a little smoothing out of the transition between the limb tip and horn after they are installed though.
