2nd and 3rd attempt
« on: April 01, 2007, 09:31:46 pm »
I have been reading a lot of threads and finally worked up the courage to try one for myself.  Thanks to all of you who helped (without knowing it).

Sheesh !!My first two looked like they were done by a one eyed,one armed, five thumbed , cave man compared to those two. Fine work I'd say. I AM on dial up and didn't look at all the pics though . ;)

Great job! You guys are giving me an inferiority complex just casually spitting out bows like that.

Thanks for all of the kind words.  Like I said though, I learned a lot from all of you.
1- raw boo back, fast flex boo mid lam, fast flex boo belly, bocote power lam, paduak and bocote riser
    poor attempt at fading with rit dye

2- raw boo back, hickory mid lam, fast flex boo belly, walnut power lam, walnut and zebra riser
    fiddleback stain I copied from another site

Both bows are 66" ntn and about 55#@28.  Glued up with about 5 inches of reflex.  I lost a lot during tillering, but I'll work on it.
Thanks again!  Can't wait to start on the next one.
