Watch me build a reflex deflex boo backed ipe. NOT INSTRUCTIONAL
Jesse:
Rich thanks I will do that. Right now Im shaping the handle and nocks then I will shoot it a bunch more and adjust with my scraper. I almost hate to admit this but I didnt tiller it with a scraper or any other steel tool :'( I know its not very primitive but Im already using bandsaws glue ect so for this one I tried tillering the whole thing with my orbital sander. Worked great and it was pretty fun too I could feel a lot of control. I would not recommend this method to someone unless you are good with a sander because if you stop on one spot you could ruin the bow in 2 seconds ;D I used a slow speed and 150 grit to finish up tillering. I will use a scraper to fine tune it while shooting.

DanaM:
Sacreligous Jesse how dare you use power tools to tiller :o :o :o
Now i'm not sure I'm gonna let you shoot bob, I think he might be offended ;)
Rich Saffold:
Jesse, ;DI love it..I also use my bench sander to the point where bows are very close to being strung, I clean up the marks and do subtle adjustments with a scraper, or sandpaper.

Jesse:
yeh I had to come clean :D I used a power tool to tiller and I am ashamed :D It did work good though. I might have to go to rehab or something :D
Jesse:
