That's looking promising so far, the bow will be a head turner for sure with that knothole and character!

I'm no GOAT.  More like luckiest of all time if i pull this off.  I think "Hail Mary" will be a great name for this bow if it survives.  Did some tillering with Eric's tillering tool.  Marking and scraping, marking and scraping.

Arrows / Black Rose arrow set
« Last post by Robert Pougnier on Today at 03:56:33 pm »
I made these target/stump arrows to match a recent bow.

27 1/2", 480 grains, spined 45-50# (caved-in and finally bought an ace spine tester). Balanced 1 3/8" FOC. The points are sharpened duplex nails ground and cut to 70gn.

Shafts are wild rose. Silk wrapping for fletching and a short wrap of sinew for the nock ends. Colors are carbon black in shellac and red acrylic. Finish is spirit varnish and paste wax.

Thanks for looking!

I’ll let sleek answer your question Robert but as for the regular bow trade I participated in last few and they were run by kidder.  Not sure if they are a thing or not still.  I myself enjoyed them even though there were some hiccups as was always the case I think.  As for me I would be willing to participate in another if started up again.  The last one I recall was 2024-2025.

Honestly, I really like this trade more than the other. I think this junior trade represents the spirit of this community and advances its cause more so than a trade among the more advanced members. Its why ive decided to participate in the junior trades only when I join into a trade.

I’ve used drawknives, hatchets, and hammer and chisels. All will work, but then clean up any rough back and seal when done.
