Inaugural “junior” bow trade
Muskyman:
Sometimes you gotta laugh. I never thought it would be that good :o
Put a string on my bow today, after I saw it I put it in Hamish’s naughty bow pile and started on a new one.
Aaron1726:
The right side looks great! :)
Seriously though, that's a bummer. Good luck with #2
Muskyman:
Just for kicks I’m gonna try and laminate a thin piece on the offending side and see if I can stiffen it up. I found a limb I cut off another Osage bow that went south on me with some really nice growth rings. I’m going to chase it down from both sides. Should end up with a piece about 3/16ths thick. Then flatten with my belt sander and glue it together with EA 40. Then reshape and tiller if it works. It won’t be my trade bow but, just want to see if I can do it.

That is a bummer :-( maybe it's one half of a laminated handle bow that you've yet to envision....
Muskyman:
Thinned down a piece of Osage today and bent it to match the bow. Will make sure tips line up first before gluing them. Probably fine tune the limbs some then glue them up
