Hey all, I am going to have to pull out of the race because I found out on Friday my whole division is being laid off. I need to pinch the pennies over the next few months and I can't afford to ship a bow two times any time soon. I will keep working on my bow and try to post some photos as I can, but right now I need to concentrate on finding a new job and keeping track of my budget. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out though.

[seabass]

Yesterday on my lunch break I finally got to work on my bow the long upper limb is floor tillered but the short lower limb need some work once that's done il heat shape them

[blackhawk]

Well,your a half step ahead of me sterling. Mines still sitting in the corner waiting to be floor tillered. I've got a hickory sapling with the same design in the works almost ready to be braced. I did a black walnut but came in light and my upper limb changed drastically from shooting it in. It was weird,it went from 3/8" positive tiller to 7/8"  So I set that in the corner of shame to be made into a womans bow and picked up the hickory stave. I loved the design,it flung a fast smooth arrow.

Take your time with your design. I really wanna see this one come to fruition.

[skyarrow]

Me to I'm not worried about the long limb it's the short one that I'm afraid mite brake

[skyarrow]

Well it looks like I won't get to work on my bow this weekend my wife's birthday is tomarrow and my mom bought her and I a two day hotel on the riverwalk  in San Antonio and also bought us two tickets to see Chicago in concert tomarrow woot

[blackhawk]

Ill wipe the dust off this thread.

So far I've gotten the first bow by Mwirwicki(Matt)  BUT,sorry Matt I couldn't resist stringing her up and shooting her and I Broke it...................        

JUST KIDDING Matt...lol.     I haven't even taken her out o the sock yet n she's sitting in an optimum stable environment.

I still need to get mine bending. My schedules finally easing up a lil for the next few weeks so ill have time to squeeze her in.


How's the rest of the field doing???

[MWirwicki]
