First 2pc and first time with billits... finished pics and vid
« on: May 04, 2012, 12:48:59 am »
I started this bow a while ago and frankly messed it up...  no need for how but I removed to much wood from what is now the lower limb near the fade. I've been working on another bow and needed a break fro it so I decided good or bad to finish this one. I feel like I salvaged a pretty fair shooter in spite of it's obvious lower limb hinge. It's just shy of 65"s and 40@27...  It's a 2pc and it's my first bow using billits...  anyway here it is



Just got the dog fixed so his new name is bagel boy or maybe doughnut hole :)

Thanks soy, bubby almost lost it...  it was another teacher for sure

Ahhh go ahead Gus...  when you own a 4# (pre-op 5#s) dog you've heard them all :)

It's pretty easy to be fluid lesken with a 40#er :)

Great work! How do you get it to be so secure with a take-down? Every time I try to make a 2-piece section of wood, it's always loose. For that reason, I've never tried it with a bow.

Regarding your dog, I thought he had one of those therapeutic neck pillows in his mouth. I was impressed by his jaw capacity.

very nice one! Great save.  I wish I could watch the vids but I am at work and they aren't loading for some reason.  I will watch when I get home.   Beautiful work on that one!  :)

doggonemess the two piece came pretty easy but it distracted me from the limb and that's what cause a 50# bow to be a 40# bow :)

Thanks Josh it's going to go to a nephew I think..

Drums I'll be watching to see what you come up with...  I'm hoping the next 2pc will hit my weight :)

Drums I'm a little bit afraid to cut it down and stress that weak spot on the bottom limb??? I think I'll pass this one on as a 40#er and try for another at 50 ...  I've shot the sn@@t out of it...  it's sure fun shootin a light weight :)

Jamey 40#s is sure easy on the shoulder :)

  Gotta love it when you think you just spent a lot of time and effort to end up with a piece of fire wood and go back to it and end up with a nice shoot'n bow!  I think that bow is really cool.  Good job!
