The Burnt Hill Archer:
nice setup for the reflex. sinew job looks pretty good too, yeah what D said, patience. but for a project like this, youve gotta have patience oozing out of your ears!

Thanks guys , I'm glad you call it patience ,, my wife calls it laziness .
Rained a lot yesterday ,and I've got the bow in the cab of my truck .The cable went just a little slack in the morning yesterday ,so I cranked the stick around a few turns till it was tight again ,and put it in the truck. It is 85 degrees outside and quite a bit warmer in the truck . When it stops pulling in reflex , I will wait a few days and add the next layer.

The first layer of sinew has stopped shrinking (the rope no longer goes slack after a few days ) Here it is untied showing the reflex it now holds.
Now I will tie in more reflex and apply the second layer of sinew.
