Chaw....were the Heck are you from??? Or I forgot......... ;)......they call it Dip here....a chaw is a chunk of Chewing Tobacco...comes in a Brick....not a Can.......I was a Copenhagen Kid for 40 years...till my Jaw started to dissolve...and the Doctor told me it was either Dipping or eating....so I threw it away......cold turkey.......

Yep.Dissolved....the Bone was eroding away from My Teeth due to the Buildup of Tars from the Copenhagen getting between My teeth and the Gums....I had to have all my Teeth Scraped all the way down to my Jawbone to remove the Goop...So that was the beginning of Me Quitting...the Last Straw was my Bike Trip to Michigan ...with a Windshield on My Bike....You can not spit without hitting Yourself with a Windshield.....and I got pissed and tossed the Can...Pewter Lid and All... :P

Congrats on the bow!  I'm encouraged my own *might* not break.  I wanted to comment on the bandsaw issue.  I just pulled out my cheapo jigsaw and stayed a good 1/8th away from the line.  I went real slow, pulsing the trigger a second at a time.  Totally lost my bandsaw envy.  I'll use my $100 for something else.

Good job Recurve, Congrats on making a shooter.  I guess your going to have to come up with a different name.  Or start flipping the tips on the next one. ;)

well congratulation there young fellow. Red oak is sometimes hard to keep from breaking. I used a hatchet. ferring rasp and a pocket knife when I started, I got raped on my first draw knife, latter bought a used Bowyer's knife {Icall it) from a fellow at a rendezvous. I since have moved on in order, as I am lazy sometimes.I have found a 1/2 inch saw blade is best for stave cutting and the blades can be bought through grislier tools at about 11.00 each. Carpenters skip tooth 4 or 6 teeth /inch. If your saw can handle the power needed. However it has been said be careful it doesn't take much to error. I use a ridged with a 3/4 inch  saw blade with a bout 1hp. I use a long belt sander to shape however they ain't no hurry, so I still use the draw shaves and rasps and spoke shaves and one of Bernie's  Swank's hand blade scrappers. Sandpaper 100 to 200 or 220 to 600 or stillwool. Then I burnish the finish. O Heck I got carried away sorry, I almost had it built. ha. Denny
