SLO-MO multiple bows build along
Rich Saffold:
ya the eucalyptus can be some funny stuff. I wouldn't worry if it doesn't submit to the almighty heat gun..It looks like there is a very fast bow hiding in there..The fun part will be keeping it together..It's a lighter shade of wood than what I used..If it works I want to find out what species of eucalyptus it is..
Every species grows in my neighborhood..
D. Tiller:
Hey Rich! I have heard there are something like 101 different species of Eucalyptus. There has got to be a bow wood in there somewhere. Also, its so flammable that in an emergency you could always use it as a signalling flare! ;D

More like 1001 :)
Rich, this one isn't some of the real common ones we have aroundhere, I ran across this patch wile hunting, out of curiosity since I'd never seen it before I cut one down,
If it does make a bow, I'll go take pictures of the trees.
No time to work on it today, I'll leave it in the form, probably give it one more tempering session before taking it out ;D
D. Tiller:
Uhh!! Manny, that was sinew used to wrap the ends but put it under the serran wrap, ok? ;D

Hey D, so you're telling me that the finished bow will have wraps just under the nocks ??
