Sounds like fun, I'm in.

Have we decided on a set of rules? Can I back mine with maple for example? Or are we "banning" wood backings?

They can be backed but not with wood.  Let's try to keep it Red Oak.

Worked a bit on my first effort at the handle/riser piece.  This stuff does shape easily, ...but it's easy to go too far real fast.  :-\

Tillered and ready to shoot in. Put a little Ivory on the tips to protect from the FF string. We'll see what she does  .I have a little "Odawa" Scalloped bow but I think I'll keep that,as my guy wants 50 lbs at 28" and it's only 40#.  Rabbit hunting it is!

FF string is served and ready to shoot in today. Let's see if it's worthy of the postage! ;)

Sorry guys ,It will have to wait a couple more days for the pics. I'm out of town . Brought the camera ,but like a dumb $%# ,I didn't bring the cord to down load. I shot about75-80 through it tonight. First time with FF string. Uhhhhhhhhhhhh,..........Wow! This bow isn't a new design for me, so I kind of knew what to expect as far as shooting characteristics. I didn't do any heating  or flip the tips on it though.I don't think I will . When I get home I think I'll  make a few more just like it but different weights, to keep around  for people to try . I got two more potential customers last week so I guess I better get some inventory on hand. For This trade would I be safe to assume that most guys would like a bow to go hunting with or do we have some Target only fellas here. Trying to decide on what sort of lipstick to put on her.

Started my bow today... This took forever to find a board that would "possibly work" we shall see I guess. This is my frist board bow so hopefully it will turn out great. It is going to be a simple beautiful bow to show case the wood itself.

Are we going to put up pictures of our progress or let it be a total suprise????

Happy New Year everyone... God Bless!!

I don't know about everyone else but I like pictures.  I think if you want to post them OK, if you want to keep it a surprise OK.

So I'm guessing it's too late to jump in?
