Lookin good
Aaron1726:
Mine had a weight loss session today. Got it roughed to profile.
Muskyman:
Looks good so far Aaron. What kind of wood is that? I don’t remember seeing what it was if you have already said. Haven’t really done anything on mine lately. Working on a shed for my wife but, planning on trying to take some time for bow making over the next few days because it’s supposed to rain. :BB
Aaron1726:
Thanks muskyman, it's red oak. I'm hopeful it will turn out ok. It's got just a bit of bend at this point. I completely understand not being able to get progress on the bows, I have 3 kids who, rightfully so, consume most of my time. But that's what makes it fun, it's a small escape from the day to day. Hope you get some time on yours. Take care
Muskyman:
Worked a little on the backup bow today. Gave up on the original bow I was making for the trade. Got a string on it and worked on it a little bit, then decided I’d reflex it. It’s on my caul now.here is a before reflex picture. It was 40 lbs at 18 inches in the picture. Right limb is the bottom limb. About 3/4 shorter than the top and has two knots right in the middle of the limb. I’ve got another bow going and I think I like it better at this point. We’ll see how they end up.
