First bow in three or four years...

Very nice bow!

Great looking bow, bro. Once again you inspire me to keep going. For you next bow, try the perry reflex technique. It should make things easier to get started. I bet it will work with the recurve too.

That's the goal...I'll actually be gluing the recurve in (I'm looking for a VERY slight curve at the tips).  I tried it a couple years ago and liked what I got but had a slew of flaws in the backing...screwed the whole thing up.  This one will have a slight recurve and I'm thinking just a bit of deflex off the center line.  I'll actually have it in the form over the weekend, and maybe have another working bow by the end of the week.  I want to have at least four completed by December...Kalee and I have a booth at a little art show and I'd like to have them there.

Have you finished lately?  I searched about the forum for posts and didn't see any...I think the forum has been changed or updated since I was first a member but I can't say for sure.

I have not posted anything in a long while. I read the forum frequently, but rarely post. I was working on a Read Oak board bow, but it has developed some type of mold on the dark rings. I am working on a Crepe myrtle take down now.
