hick board bow
« on: January 18, 2009, 07:53:58 pm »
well this is another one i am working on now,lets see that makes 5 going at once now     wheeewwww

well this is nothing fancy by any means (yet),its just a hick board that had a bow hiding inside it.actually it also has a brother waiting his turn also.
both of which are goinf to someone i feel is deserving of such. O:)

i probably wont finish either of them completly. i will probably get it tillered and just glue on the handle and tip overlays and let him finish them and put
whatever finish on that he chooses.
just though i would post a pic to see whats what and what needs fixing,please as always any input is greatly appreciated.



thats pulling about 18 inches,dont know how much weight havent put it on a scale yet.
i think the tiller is looking decent

once again thanks for looking



                                                                            peace,
                                                                                  tim

hey Tim, lookin' good so far.  I really don't think it hurts to have several things going at once.  Maybe its a "guy thing"......you know, trim out the bathroom except for that one piece by the door.......or weed all the flower beds except that part by the driveway......if you ALMOST finish those chores it is like job security, i figure. 

So, start a bunch of bows, work them when you can and your depth of experience will grow faster than if you make one at a time, start to finish.

Looks pretty good Tim. Your bottom limb is bending more than the top.  ;)
The thing I like about having more than one project going at a time is that if you start to feel like you are rushing a project or are feeling frustrated, you can switch to another.

Your bow is coming along nicely, Tim.           If I only had one thing going on I'd spend most of my time trying to find it. With multiples all I have to do is turn around and there is another unfinished project.  ;D

That actually looks pretty darn good, Tim. When you said you were adding  a handle did you mean handle covering because it has a handle. Jawge
