2022 Bow Trade - complete
Jakesnyder:
Here's the sinew job! It's already starting to pull into reflex!

Lovely work, stunning bows . I am a long way behind you! I have finished rebuilding the wall blown down in the storms we had in early Spring so I have finally been able to get some time in the ‘shop. My bow is roughed out oversize at 2” wide and 35mm thick at the fades but next up is to reduce sapwood by about 4mm. At the moment the tips only move 1 inch if I press all my weight down, so plenty of room for manoeuvre. Will post more once the sapwood is cleaned up

Well, Love Island is back on the box and that means my womenfolk are actually sending me to the workshop!! My yew bow is down to 30mm in the centre and 20mm tips. If I lean really hard on the centre then it’ll bend about an inch. Time to carve some temporary nocks and get it on a long string

Nice. I love an excuse to be sent to the shop! Love to see some pics
Swampman:
I made a little progress on the black locust bow this past weekend. I evened the limbs up so hopefully the reflex will be more manageable. After I did that I had to do some steaming to line the tips up. I still have some adjustments to make as things aren't lined up to my liking yet.
