That came out awesome for a first try with that type of bow! You did a beautiful job with the overlays and finishing touches. Seems like you learned a ton aswell, and I did too following your thread. Thanks for sharing, it'll be neat to follow your progress with these bows and to see what you do.

Also great job on sharing the process and taking the time to photograph everything.

Looks like some challenging stave's but got to be a few bows in that pile. I always loved the challenge of tough stave's, some work out and some don't but very satisfying when the do. :) Congrats on the haul.

Thanks WB, feeling pretty good right now, in the morning at 8:30, we will know in a day or 2 if it goes as well as the Doc. says it should.  ;) Had a good weekend, got a few projects done but no pictures, Lost my camera  >:( :( had that thing for years and just can't figure out where I have put it, guess I will have to learn how to use another because I am pretty sure I won't be able to find one like that.  :-\ Maybe it will show up, getting bad about loosing stuff, guess it's comes with age. :-\ Life is Good. :)

Bows / Re: Hold my hand when I sinew my first bow
« Last post by superdav95 on March 01, 2026, 08:12:03 pm »
Yes!  Sweet little bow James.   Tiller looks pretty good to me.  You have lots of bend thru the handle but being such a short little bow that what I would have done also.  Your working limb is probably similar to mine actually given that I incorporated semi static tip recurves to concentrate my working limb little more on the middle.  Your reflex recovery seems good too. Seems pretty snappy little bow.  Well done on your sinew and this bow.  Speeds are very good.

Video of me shooting it at 22” and a little sneak peak of the bark. That’s enough typing and picture uploading for this evening
