Well, yet again, I have been MIA for awhile. Life seems to get in teh way of making a bow.
I am trying to get the garage/workshop cleared otu so I can start working on a bow again. I found 2 boards awhile back that I am going to attempt to make into bows. One is for my wife to see if I can get her into archery. The other if it turns out is bookmarked for someone else.
I am looking forward to making another bow. I don't make pretty bows. They are functional. At least the one that turned out well was. I need to be working on some arrows to see if I can make some arrows to go along with my awesome bow "rough'n". As the name goes, it is a rough bow. But it shoots great, and it goes with how I was doing at the time I made the bow. Now, it is time to make a few more that are from a better place.
Cheers all.

Welcome back. Nothing wrong with a "rough bow". I bet the cavemen weren't worried about making there bows "pretty". Lookin forward to seeing it.

Thanks Dave.
I am not all the concerned about a pretty bow. As long as it is functional and can throw and arrow. My bow right now can throw it at 15 yards and chunk it into a piece of wood. I am happy with that. Once I make some arrows, I can't wait to start getting used to shooting it to try to hunt with it.
The next two attempts are going to be with oak and walnut I believe. It has been awhile since i bought the wood. but as soon as I can get to the work bench, it is going to be time to make some bows! Will post some pics as I get to them done.
