PD, my dad was a carpenter. Helped on a few cabinets. Caught my eye immediately.
Keep your bro in law supplied with bows. LOL.
You are both talented.

  This is almost exactly my set up, except I once rescued a weird, tall, skinny pot, and I boil em.

Thanks to some extreme peer pressure from my buddies Ginger Snap and Dragster, Ill be attempting a Grumley bow. Nel's lived not far from me, just in a different era. Being a fellow Michigander I owe it to him to build one. Ive never attempted a brush nock. The bracing is my only concern. I don't like wrestling with bows. Here is where Im at.

Falcon maybe not a build along, but I will post the random rambling and a picture.



Steve the only thing Im hesitant about is the giant string loop on one end and trying to fight it over the tip to brace it. Im going to skinny these up as much as possible and make them as petite as possible, but still functional.

Just go with an over the tip stringing technique and keep the loops small. I loved my Grumley replica while it was still alive.

Hey, that's a great idea!  I love me some string bridges anyway, and that already has the perfect curve.

Pat Im not sure I follow you. Are you saying use a stringer and slip it over the end rather than slide it up the limb and over the knock?

I just used the step through method and slipped the loop over the tip. Going up the limb would be an exercise in frustration.
I've never used a stringer so I can't comment on how that would work on tips like that.

  I was kidding, everytime I think what could possibly go wrong something does.

I don't think I could have made that cut and had everything line up, or did you get close to the line then rasp it down?

Bobert I just traced each static unto an osage plank and numbered them 1 and 2. Then changed my blade out to a 1/4" 10 tpi and cut it. That's off the saw you see in the pic. There are some micro air gaps I can see, and I don't like it. I need to tweak it so its absolutely dark from end to end when I hold it up to my lights. I want them perfect for the Unibond, gap filling epoxy or not!
