Ink -wow- that's a lot of reflex.  Gonna be a beast to brace.   Love to see a video of the first attempt.

Haha Russ, shoulda seen all the different shades my face was turning when I braced my first high reflex bow. Prietty sure I killed a few brain cells from the lack of oxygen. :laugh:

I'd like the fence post. I'd love to tell the guys I'm bringing my fence post next time we go shooting, then show up and out-shoot them all >:D

That's assuming I can shoot worth a bean, though

Black locust. Black locust everywhere.
Mollegabets all day long.
Might as well make them short, save some wood to keep warm.

I'd take the fence post bow over a lam bow any day. Going from stave to bow is more accomplished(IMO) than building wood lam samich.   ;D (I've done both so its OK for me to say that  ;)  )

Well, I've got the backup almost caught up to plan A on account of waiting for overlays to dry (I don't like overlays, much prefer blended tips using additional rings). This one has plenty of wood for faded rings and a bit more character than plan A, but plan A is still safer and therefore plan A.

I got a couple of black locust rouhged out and chase tonight.  I also have a quarter sawn piece of sycamore that I am going to back with hickory.  Still not sure what to do for my victim though.  I'll post some pics tomorrow.

I know I dont post on here much. so to make this easy on whoever pulled my name. Just make whatever you are best at making. I like all kinds of bows, so just send something that you would shoot.
anyways as an update, huisme inspired me to start a backup bow just incase. I'll be starting the reflexing on that one tonight. I'll post pics of the two together when i' done
