Do you mean like the belly scales of a snake?

Yes.

Did you split the snake down either side and just peel off either half? I haven't heard of using the belly scales for a backing before

Jack came back to work on his bow again this weekend.  We had hoped to go hog hunting Friday night but we got a VERY much needed hard rain that turned the Texas dirt to slime.  So, we cut string nocks in his bow and got a string on his bow.  Still had some twist  so we did another heat bend.  Then we worked on flint points.  Today we began tillering in earnest.



Jack is a natural, he's eyeing that unbending spot in the middle of the right limb.  We got to a nice bend very early.



When we quit the bow was pulling 50lbs@20".  We'll shoot it the next time he's over.  Here it is at a low brace.



It's going to be a great bow.  It has a natural forward set handle and is center shot.  It is 66" n2n and Jack plans to make it 50#@28".  That should work out just fine. :)

That's cool! I plan on doing this at ojam. All these people that helped me get materials for bow building, I asked them how I can even come close to returning the favor and they said, pass it on. I take more joy in doing stuff for other people then I do making one for my self. Their'a tend to look prettier too for some reason  :o LOL

Very Cool!  Nice progress Jack!  Looks like you will have ready in time.
