ADD anyone?
« on: August 11, 2012, 03:22:09 pm »
Yah I got it bad, bad, bad. I cant sit around and wait for things to cool, dry, or steam without doing two other things at the same time. Ever try building a bow from a belly split off a belly split? Thats what I got cooking. Its tiny and maybe 11/16" wide at the widest point and 56" long ntn. Im not intending on a kids bow necessarily... >:D

 I needed a full stave for another project and seen the rings where just huge so I split the belly off with screw drivers. After I got done I split the split and it worked. I figure it deserved a shot at being a bow. Not to mention I hope to get three bows from what I counted as only one.

I'll report back soon, tip overlays are drying...then on to the bending  >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D and it will be bending!

Pretty sure I have a little extra ADD I can give away. I've got two bows in the works, multiple turkey calls, deer grunt call, a canoe, some arrows, a couple knifes, and i probably should cut the grass, clean the shop, and eat somethin for dinner, but I'm too busy playin on the internet...for a minute.

I worked on six different bows today and shot ten different bows.

The subject bow, by the way, turned out sweeter than heck. Although light. Its marking 26# @ 24". Perfect for some youngster or lady. I'll post pics in a day or two all finished. Its the neatest little bow I have made so far.

Man, you and me both Cip, looks those staves are out of order, that short one should be on the end...  Good grief.

Cool thread.

Gotta get her sanded and sealed today Cip. Myabe tomorrow after I grip it. Its a round bellied baby ELB in the 58" range. Cool little bow, holds some reflex even.  And to think I just wanted one bow from that stave. Looking at the original belly split, it almost appears I could two from it. That would get me to four bows and one stave.

*NEW GUYS*

Dont try to squeeze every stave you can like this, its a bad idea and a good way to get ZERO bows out of a stave. I have plenty of wood and experience playing with it. Concenrate on getting one, then mess around if you will.

Not yet Mike. I have four bows in various stages I need to get done for people first. Then its on to another for me. I will keep you posted.
