Faux bow trade 2022
BetterTrees:
I got excited to share and should have put this picture on my last post, but I couldn't wait until I made it that far.
Allyn T:
Dang man I hope your back gets better

Come hell or high water I’m gonna chop on some wood next week. Got two steroid injections in my butt cheeks this morning. The inflammation has gone down a lot and a weeks steroid pack coming up. Maybe I can he man through it and get it floor tillered soon
I’ve heard of edd Scott doing that to his handles. Leaving a few layers on the back of the handle to build it up. He made some amazing stuff. Wish I could have bought one from him before he passed RIP. His stuff was top tier like many of the guys here.
Allyn T:
Don't hurt yourself, you have plenty of time to get a bow done.
BetterTrees:
I didn't get it floor tillered. I was racing the checking sapwood as I chased a ring and decided to leave it about 3" wide for stability and seal the back heavily with some work left to do all over, but it's down to about 3/4"-1" thick in the limbs and a bit more in the handle area. Now it gets to dry.
I'll be back here in mid-late April and I'll cut out the profile and check the moisture in the center.
I'm skipping the garage, so I'm hoping for 10-12% by then.
I have seen pictures of handles like that, and it's super aesthetic. The goal is the best bow I can make, so I'm pushing my limits a little.
Y'all have fun, and you don't hurt yourself worse, Aznboi.
