Squirrelslayer:
ive heard a bow is not built until it has fired it's 500th arrow
Niltsiar:
what are you looking for in a board when it comes to making one into a board bow?
bubby:
the best grain you can get, quartersawn, riftsawn of plainsawn will all work, check all 4 sides of the board and see what you have,
bubby:
gonna bump this up
Knoll:
My latest was made w/ constant thickness, like Buddy's build-along. Also, similar to Buddy, used table saw to rip thickness.
GREAT technique, but be sure to think through where gonna stop your rip so ya can then blend in riser using bandsaw or scrollsaw or rasps or ... etc.
