Well, I ask because it's best to do that before you start bending wood making then handle more likely to pop off. No way! Bending wood has a memory but so does a missus. Now don't you go getting me in trouble. :) Jawge

i never even thought of that,too much running thru the old noodle lately.
i dont feel any bend in the handle section as of yet. think i would be safe using 2 ton epoxy to hold on the "riser" of leopard wood on this one?
the other one i will glue on the zebra wood right away.
thanks for the input everyone.

                                                                                     peace,

Hey Sailordad,

   that looks like a good start on that hickory bow  ;)   i like it...  looks real good.... 
Wow!!!   you say you got five going at once...   thats good idea... i like how you explained it,  that if you got more projects at once,  and you get them done in stages,  than by the time you finish em you would have learned more,  and have gotten more experience in a shorter time, than if you just do one at a time... it makes a lot of sense... might have to...  huuuhhh... use that theorie my self...  ;)

ok so its beenawhile since ive shown pics of this one
so heres ans update.
i did glue on a piece of zebra wood for a riser,camo cotton cloth backing has been glued on also,tillered out to 26 inches and about 45 lbs.
couple more inches and its done. so from this point on its just tillering with sand paper.
did a little work on the nocks tonight,nothing fancy ther just shaped them,no overlays or any thing.hey these are for young adultsa to use running thru the
woods,fancy stuff just means theyll get pissed when they damage the tips etc.

i know the lower limb looks like its bending more,but i think thats cause the wife was standing when she took the pic and i was kneeling and i think thats giving that illusion
the eliptical shape shows tiller looks pretty even i think
any how heres a pic of the tiller let me know what ya think  ;D



 thanks for looking

                                                                                   peace,
                                                                                        tim

thanks for the comments gentelmen ;D

i did tell the wife what ya'all thought of her wall ;)

you guys are lucky cause she said she didnt like it anymore either and wants to repaint it.tonight she even said she now knows what color.
more of a darker mustard yellow,or as she said "tannish yellow" cause it more of a richer color.

                                                            peace,
