Title: my latest project
Post by: jayman448 on February 12, 2018, 07:56:00 pm
It seems i have a problem gettin my bows to floor tiller and then never finishing. That said here is my latest project. Oak sapling. I have no idea its measurements. Looks about 6 foot so far. Will probably end up a bit bendy in the handle. I just decided to go for it with this one, and let the tree show me the bow. Anyways i did have a little flub that resulted in a gouge on the on fade. How do you figure i deal wih it? I was just going to sand smooth and fill with sawdust and glue for aesthetics. I dont really think it will cause me issues but what do you figure. Sorry for poor picture quality

Just realized how the flash makes it look like theres a funny limb profile on top. Just imagine it really nice and straight. XD

Is the gouge on the belly side, or the back?

   If the gouge is affecting the tiller you are limited to whatever the gouge will allow you to make.

Gouge on the belly of course. No effect on the tiller so far. Its only almost ready for short string. As i said it is just on the fade area.
