Building the Vine Maple Bow - Finished
Gordon:
TN, thank you for the wonderful compliment. I have no desire to profit from this work. I am simply paying something back to the PA community for all they have done for me and others.
GB:
I love this build-along. I think it's the most thorough walk through in text and pictures that I've ever seen. Thanks for posting it, Gordon.
Beautiful bow!
Green:
Thank You So Much Gordon for the commitment to teaching us in fine detail. The bow turned out spectacularly and I learned SOOOOO many of the finer details that get left out in other mediums.
Badly Bent:
I enjoyed following along on your build Gordon. There is a lot of valuable information to be gained from this thread. Nicely organized and clear pictures and explanations of your methods for all you do to take it from stave to finished bow. I learned a lot from your past hazelnut build along and a bit more from this one. Thanks for taking the time to do it again. :)

Gordon,
Thank you for taking the time to put this build-along together for us. Once again I learned several new ideas and bowyer tricks I can take back to the shop. I am sure I will be back to this post numerous times to help me along the way.
As to your finished vine maple bow: It is a classic design we have seen many times, but executed with the highest standards of workmanship and finish detail. I have seen many bows here with beautiful tillers, but few that combined it with such a flawless finish. BOM material.
