Sucked in another!
« on: February 26, 2012, 10:05:00 pm »
This is a work friend of mine. He and I have been chit chatting about getting him started for a long time and finally got a chance to get together today. He has a ton of wood working and hand tool experience so today was a breeze for him..........me to! Here are a few pics of what we got done. He is taking it home to add tip overlays and rough out the grip. Its 4 year old hackberry and clean as a whistle. 66" long flatbow, 2" fades and 1/2" tips. The bow has a 1 1/2" of natural reflex which we centered perfectly. The top limb has some nice wiggles and the tips line right up. No heat needed.

Anybody ever see hackberry with sapwood that thick? I havent. Also look close at the back in the band saw pic and there are brown lines running through it. Im confident they are just fine. Its just a very unique stave for hackberry.

Your shop is way too clean, Chris!  You can't build bows in a shop that clean...can you?

Finer than frog hair Clint. I built wayyyy to may bows without it. It literally eliminates hours of time and pain for elbows.

Grizzly is the only place to buy new Grizzly. Mine is the 3/4 hp model. I dont miss that 1/4" hp one ioda. Jim who has ran miles of wood through bandsaws couldnt believe how well the 4 tpi Timberwolf whipped through that stave. Horepower has never been at a shortage.
