started on your bow today

[Michael C.]

Oh yeah it's so hard looking at all of the bows being made and wondering which one you might be getting, if I get any of these I will probably fall over. Great looking bow you have going and whoever gets it is going to be mucho pleased.

I think that it will unload more at the longer draw. will try to get a pic at full 28".  Keenan, when you can draw it 28" then you can shoot it it is at least 75# now. but I do like to watch those veins in your neck get really big, and your eyes bug out, so I guess you can give it a try

[juniper junkie]

I got the bow tillered out to 28" looking pretty good, maybe need more bend mid-limb. still way above target weight which is good, heating out a small twist in one limb tonight. here is a pic on the tiller tree at 26-27"

[Keenan]

That is looking awesome Dave, I think I'll pass on the vain popping.    Can you post that unbraced pic right under your full draw. I think that would help see what is already bending.

[juniper junkie]

I have some narrowing to do to the limbs especially towards the tips that should help it balance out, looks like maybe too much stress in lower limbs by fades? it feels really good and elastic, although it is 68" long which helps. thanks Keenan, I know the limb tips are stiff and I want to keep them that way, but maybe more bend at start of reflex? mid limb.

[juniper junkie]

worked on the bow some today, got the limbs bending a little more gentle through mid limb. narrowed the tips and roughed in the handle. it is now 65#@28" need to be around 55#. the draw pic is at 27".

[John K]

looks great, i hope it finds it's way to Wisconsin 

[Elktracker]

Ya that looks awsome but shipping would be cheaper to Tillamook Oregon

[gstoneberg]

It'd feel so much better in Texas...

[Keenan]

Heck with the shipping just drop it by on your way to work!    Looking great Dave.

[juniper junkie]

you're getting warmer

[Keenan]

  Witch one of us is getting warmer?

[Mark Anderson]

Man that is looking good!  I think the limbs look like they are bending pretty evenly, from the unbraced profile. Can't wait to see it finished!

[Parnell]

Nothin wrong with 65#, heck you can send it to me in S. Florida, I'll give her a fine home!
Looks gorgeous.

[snag]

All those guys like Saxton and Stevenson would shoot 75#+ selfbows....have we degraded this far to where we can't pull this weight?

That is one fine looking bow. It looks like it will really be a snappy shooter. 
That would be my ultimate bow...Oregon yew wood for an Oregon boy...put some Oregon douglas fir arrows with it and I'd be
hard to call in for dinner! haha
