SLO-MO multiple bows build along

(1/22) > >>

NOMADIC PIRATE:
This will be a cronicle of the next few months in my bow building life :)

Slow motion, because I really don't have to much time to dedicate to making shavings ::)

What I have ready is, 2 guava short bows to be sinewed, one Guava flatbow, one eucalyptus ELB, one Osage, one Elm, and one Guava ELB, all of them pretty much ready to tiller, but the 2 future sinew that will need to cure.


Before I bring them in, I'll post a pictorial of how I get my wood ready.


Hope you'll enjoy ;D

NOMADIC PIRATE:
This is my Guava harvest from this week, as you can see, a 5" log is a big one :D

NOMADIC PIRATE:
First thing I do is, find the middle, and cut to length

NOMADIC PIRATE:
Next I mesure the 4" handle and the 2 1/2" fades,...this will be the last time that any kind of mesuraments are taken,...all instinctive from now ;D

NOMADIC PIRATE:
Now we follow the crown.
