Welcome Noah.  Looks like you have a great start on your first bow.  I am sure that with a teacher like Jeff by your side, your first bow will turn out great.  Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Welcome aboard, Noah!  You are real lucky to have a mentor so close.  Remember, patience is your first tool, measure twice and cut or scrape once, and the only dumb question is the one you don't ask!  I'm sure Jeff will tutor you on things like keeping your tools sharp and your fingers out of the way :BB >:D (lol)!  Good luck, it is real neat to finish your own first bow!

Noah and I have alternated between reducing the limbs and doing heat adjustments.  first we used a wet cloth wrapped in foil to align the handle with the tips.   That was a few days ago.  with the limbs starting to move a bit it was time to recurve the tips and straighten out some of the wonkiness from one of the limbs.  It is starting to look like a bow.

Nice to see a young person use his hands for something besides texting and gaming .

Not sure how old the clamps are.  Pretty sure I got them from my grandfather's workshop when he passed away. I had to clean them up a little, but some WD-40 made a huge difference.
