Thanks Pappy and thanks for the tips.

I have made a several very similar to this .

I’m going to get a string on next. I’m pretty sure I’m still way to heavy, but I know that it gives up fast from here on out. Pretty sure the rest is going to be scrapper and sand paper.

Hopefully will have some updated pictures later.

Well I made up a string and scraped off what wasn’t a bow. Probably still a little more that doesn’t belong, but I think I’m going to wait till I can put it in the owners hand.

PS it really gets tricky figuring out what isn’t a bow now. Just a couple scraps are noticeable

I took it a to about 17”

I don’t want to take any more weight off until he tries it out.

I don’t really trust this scale at these low weights. It says about 19@16”
,but the scale is at about 3 without anything on it. That’s maybe around 16@16”

By the time I sand it I’m thinking it might be close. Id rather be just slightly heavy than to light.
