Things are running pretty smooth so far.  I like that.  I like that a lot.  But I also know we are not into crunch time yet, either.

Plenty of time to get things straightened out if something goes wrong with your Plan A.  Get'em folks!  Show that wood who is in charge!

And then once you have learned that the wood is in charge, shut up and listen to what it wants to be! 

Thanks everyone!

Yeah, I should live up on a high mountain top and wear a long beard and a diaper.  Then you can all climb up and learn wisdom at my feet. 

The first thing I would learn you all, is not to wear nothing but a beard and a diaper at high elevation.  That's just stupid and WRONG! Thus ends the lesson for the day.

I got the wonky ness out of the bow last night with a little dry heat.  Just need to flip the tips slightly and start the tillering process.   :).  I have a couple others started for additional plans ABCD.

Look for some guava to bring home.  It makes some incredible bows!

I put these overlays on a month or 2 ago and used 2 ton epoxy. For some reason I can't really recall  put some sawdust with it and ended up wth a brown glue line. It is in one way interesting, but also not as fine a line as could have been.

What do you think of this. I don't doubt it for strength but would it be better to remove and start over? I like the hickory and would reuse them but I just don't know if it is worth the trouble.
What would you do????
