A central KY mini bowyer get together
blackhawk:
Thanks for volunteering me pal ;)...sure id help to show a demonstration on how NOT to do something...lol ;D
Ozzy:
I'd like to see how you make a bow that pull 50# at 28" and don't break ;D
osage outlaw:
Blackhawk will show everybody how to turn a piece of firewood into a R/D molly in 3 hours start to finish. I've seen him do it.
Ozzy, bring both of those osage staves and we will see what we can do.
hedgeapple:
Don't expect to start and finish a bow in one weekend. I'm pretty darn slow with this process. What I'm looking forward to learning is how to speed up the layout to floor tillering stage of the process. That's the part of bow building that I agonize over for the most.
I'm going to make a pot of hide glue and re-sinew a bow. I'll probably do a demo on my not so primitive method of making a 2-fletched arrow from a bamboo tomato stake. I have a hhb I got from Blackhawk lat Classic. I'm hoping he'll give me some pointers on maybe turning that one into a r/d bow. To my eye, I think that's what the hhb wants to be.
blackhawk:
Dave do you have a bandsaw? Beltsander? That speeds up the process big time....n what do you mean not to expect to have a bow made in a weekend? ???
