2022 Bow Trade - complete
Kidder:
Got my glue up taken care of this evening. I’ll probably let it sit in the form for a couple days before I take it off. Ive let them sit anywhere from 24 hours to a couple weeks and haven’t noticed any difference in held reflex, which makes sense given that it is entirely a function of glued in reflex. Bamboo backed yellow heart with an ornamental cherry riser and power lam. The cherry was a tree I took down in my yard and had saved for smoking and ended up instead making things from it, such as this or spoons. It has the most amazing smell when worked - like nothing ive ever smelled before. Aside from the fact that I’ve never used yellow heart, my only concern is a tiny belly knot. Almost more of a swirl than a knot, but I’ll do my best to leave it ever so slightly stiff in that spot and keep my fingers crossed.
Selfbowman:
Nice bow superdave . Looks great.
Swampman:
I decided to work on a few other options so if one fails I have other options. I just chased a ring on this 70 inch black locust stave. I will work on roughing it out later today.
superdav95:
Swamp man. Looking good so far. I’d love to get some black locust to make a bow. We don’t seem to have a lot of it around me here. Best of luck with your build!
Cheers
Mafort:
I’ll upload progress pics when I can. Was in a car wreck on Sunday and pretty banged up.
