2025 Junior Bow Trade
Wallski:
Hey you all, I just finished my bow, so no pressure. I really enjoy this build because it makes me build something I normally wouldn’t build for myself
, and it forces me to try something different. The bow I received last year, really showed me what I was lacking, so I stepped up my game, not only for this build but, also for myself.
stuckinthemud:
All right then guys, it's September. Please can y'all check in (except Wallski, who gets to enjoy shooting -in the new bow/hanging it on the wall/standing it in a corner ;D We know a couple of us have had life get in the way but an update would be really useful please
Aaron1726:
Nearing completion on mine, been shooting it some when I can. Still have to sand it good and get a finish on it. Should be done soon
paulc:
I have made some progress, but please don't wait on me! I am sure you all are excited to send/receive your creations....
Still have a ways to go on straightening this stave, I expect it will be straight enough to get serious on tillering by end of weekend.
Chinese Elm, 62" tip to tip. Paul
paulc:
Here is my elm bow after the weekends work of removing more wood and heat treating some more. I don't think I can do any more straightening as where it needs to move is where there are knots or some other thing going on that I am afraid to tweak any. I hope to get it on my tillering board this weekend and get the limbs moving. Take a look at the pics, and the knot pic. Thoughts? The knot is on the belly, but also right about at a fade so not great placement. I have filled it with superglue and will just hope it is okay I guess....Again, don't wait on me if everyone else is ready to ship! I've a long way to go yet. Paul
