The hype builds as more people post things and as it gets closer to the trade date. Things are heating up  ;D

I was wavering between a bow and a knapped knife, i decided on the bow mostly because i want to give the best ive got.(knapping hasnt gotten that good yet) So basicly i want to make the person happy with something i know i can make decently well.

well i got the blade tempered yesterday and started to get the handle ready and of course changed my mind 3 or 4 times first it was  osage and junper than it was osage and russian olive then it was osage and hickory then i finally made up my mind and decided to go with osage and cocobolo now i have to do my least favorite part  >:( waiting for glue to dry  >:(

i hate waiting for glue to dry on anything! my current build for my cousin has a brown paper backing waiting to dry...torture! I will finish shaping my trade bow soon and then post pics.

The handle is on and shaped.


Now I need to get the tiller a little closer. Can you tell me what you're seeing? I think I'm seeing it but want to make sure so I nail it.

looks to me that both limbs look pretty even but are a little bit stiff midlimb

Stringman the limb looks to be bending a lot more at the fade than the right limb......what I see from my eye.
Happy hunting to all!

I guess I can add some teaser pics as well. I'm waiting on some bigger jaws for my lathe chuck so I can turn it soon. I glued it together from curly oak and Bolivian rosewood pen blanks I had laying around. Titebond 3 so it's waterproof.  ;)
