Hickory bow build.
Selfbowman:
Dave I like the curves. Cool bow !
superdav95:
Just did the heat treatment today. It’s still little dark but will scrape a lot of this away yet. Got a good deep bake on this bow. Let’s hope it survives the tiller. If it does it will be a screamer! Got lots of thickness to take off yet and trim up the tips. Thanks for following along.
The last pic got all twisted up but you get the idea. You can see the depth of the cook goes about little over half way through to the back. Should be good.
bjrogg:
Looks great Dave.
That’s how I do my HHB to. I like when I have a little black tint left from the deep heat treatment after I’m done tillering. I’d rather not have to remove all the heat treatment. Just the char.

superdav95:
Thanks bjorgg. I’m hoping to keep some of the caremel Color after the tiller. It took the shape of my form really well. The clamps practically fell off when I was done with heat treatment which is a good sign. Hhb does work well for heat treatment also yes it’s great stuff if you can get straight piece.
Cheers.
Will B:
That turned out really nice, Dave. Good luck with the tiller. Should be a nice bow when your finished with it.
