You're welcome dwardo...we're just passing it on. Frank (medicinewheel) has been one of several bowyers who's bow tips I've admired and tried to achieve their level of craftsmanship. Before long you'll probably be showing someone else how to make nice bow tips!

More tips...I get a lot of mileage out of this, don't I

The main thing i see is that my knock angles are way to steep and need to be a lot more shallow as yours seem to be.
Thanks again for the pics

I have a build-along of how I work my tip overlays; maybe you want to check that out.

Go back to the "Main Discussion" page, the "How To's & Build Alongs". Scroll down and you'll see Franks tip build along.

Its not as fast as the birch bow i made last, probably because its a bit overbuilt and the tips are a little plump  SAying that the birch bow is way underbuilt and prbably wont last too long..
I didnt want to mess with this one too much as i wanted a kind of base to see what wych elm likes.
I have about 3 staves left so the others will be better,,and with better knocks lol
