One more BBO for the weekend
« on: May 26, 2008, 11:27:22 pm »
Finished one more up today. Dont build to many long ones. This one was 68" ntn. I was shooting for 55 to 60lbs came in at 46lbs. This was'nt a tri-lam and forgot how thick i had to make my belly. started it a 7/16 before I tapered it. Should of been 1/2". That oneis in the works. This was my last piece of Bacote, no leather handle going to cover this one up, she's to purdy. It really shoots for 46#, post some pics in the morning of it braced and full draw grabed the wrong string when I left the shop.

I could of but I was making this bow for guy that had a 60" non tri-lam and wanted another one 68".  So I think I will sell this one to buy me some more boo and riser woods.

Incredible job on the tiller.  It is a beauty of a bow also. Justin

Awesome job, as usual.  Are you staining your boo?  If so, what are you using.  I like the natural look, but have found it needs something on it to blend in the sanding spots, especially towards the tips where the overlays are sanded in.
