Building the Vine Maple Bow - Finished
Gordon:
"Gordon, I have a piece of vinemaple roughed out. I have been reluctant in continuing with it because of the extreme reflex."
David, extreme reflex is a common issue with vine maple and can make tillering very challenging. I'll show some ways to deal with that problem later in the build-a-long.
snag:
I look forward to it. Thank you. I tend to try and follow the "sneek up on it" method also.
bambule:
First Hazel Build along, now Vine Maple...
Interesting as ever.
Thank you for your effort.

Thanks for doing this again Gordon. There's quite a few of us whose bowyering has changed and improved directly as a result of your build alongs. I hope one day to see them compiled and in print.
This is also a good opportunity for some newer bowyers who may not be familiar with Gordons other build alongs to hit the "How To's and Build-a-longs" section up for the Winter Project yew build along from 2012 and the Hazelnut build along from 2007. These are real treasures to any bow making community. I refer to them still. Thanks man.

Nice reflex there Gordon, should make a good bow! Build alongs are always fun, and even those that have built for yrs can learn new tricks! :laugh:
