Totally cool project and if any one can pull it off I know you three can. Anxious to see these bows emerge. The three sisters. Kenneth

Cooll project Pappy and boys! But the names on the bows should be "Curly ,Joe, and Moe" Just like the builders?

"Aw...wise guy!" , "Why I ought ta..."

Well this is going slow but we are getting there.I got mine laid out,cut out and floor tillered Sat.GregB got the tips flipped on his and we didn't see BigA's so don't know how his is going.
Looks like mine will be almost center shot,naturally I think the others will be also.

Outstanding.

Turns out this isn't as easy as it might seem. I started one, well two I guess, for Mickey and Dianne and for one reason or another have had 2 false starts. At this point I got like 5 snakey bows in the box waiting to be tillered out and have forgotten which go with what.

You need a really good stave to start with and it looks like you got a winner in that one Pappy.

Pappy · « **Reply #28 on:** June 23, 2009, 10:54:44 am »

Ya they can be a little tricky sometime,I relate it a lot like a highly reflexed stave ,they will fool you on the weight really easy and you really have to keep an eye on the tiller in the curves they will fool you and hinge very easy in them spots.

Sometime like you I get to many going myself.I try and mark them good before I put them up with weight and where I am in the tillering stage,braced or
draw length so if I don't get back to them for a while I know where to start.

I hope to get this one on the form this weekend and maybe start tillering.

Made a little headway this weekend on these,well I thought I would be last but BigA is pulling up the rear as of now.GregB got his shooting Sat. and the grip worked on ,I got mine floor tillered
and on the form for some reflex and lining up the handle and tips.Mine is ready for the tiller stick and Greg's is ready for some of him fine finish work,The part I think he like best other than killing
stuff with them. Here are a few pictures of where we are.Come on Big A.
