BL molle buildalong: FINISHED!

<< < (4/4)

Aaron H:
Beautiful, great job with the build along

Aaron H:
By the way, good idea with the particle mask when working with toxic woods.  Yew is another toxic wood, but not many people wear any kind of protection, even though this wood had been known to cause certain cancers.  If you want something a little more comfortable, try getting an air respirator instead.  They have rubber which forms to the face better and provides a better seal. They also have replaceable cartridges which is actually cheaper in the long run.

First leather handle I've done. It's far from perfect, but I think it's pretty. I wanted to leave the back exposed and I think it looks good as such. My bird contributed with his mess. Gold/blue macaw aptly named grumpy was happy to see the clutter at the bottom of his cage go, and I think it compliments the bow nicely. Mink arrow pass to keep her quiet.





some grain





The string is lined up as perfectly and that snake in the lever didn't even need any heat bending! The levers came out nice and sharp, so now if the bear doesn't go down the archer still has a spear! I mean look at those points!

The blended nocks came out nicely, the string looks and feels secure, and the wood is so pretty.




The deflex just out of the handle came back in the top limb. I don't know if I'd call that set of failed heat bending, so I split the difference and this bow has one and a quarter inches of set for an eighth inch of string follow if you account for the hump in the limb.





The deflex is most pronounced in the full draw, but I assure you there are no chrysals and this thing shoots like a dream. No hand shock and deadly fast, if she were shorter I'd call her the perfect hunter but she's sixty eight inches tip to tip, and all that beauty might be unwieldy in the brush.

Now I need your opinion on something a little serious :o

I've come to an agreement with the guys at archers review to have a mollegabet reviewed. They understand that all of my bows have their own unique character and they're never going to get the same bow again. They understand that they should review a mollegabet as a design many bowyers can and do make, though I will have made the one they're going to review. They'll pay the shipping and keep the bow, I'll have my bow on their site.

Do you think this one is good enough?

PAHunter:
Looks great man, thanks for the build along!
