[Thunder]

Nice work sleek....I like it!   

[sleek]

Thanks thunder.

Hey Jo5h, remember them billets you gave me at erics house? This is one of them. Thought you might get a kick out of that. I still have the other three and I owe you a bow if I recall proper?

[hunterbob]

I will be honored to own any bow you make me sleek. I draw 26 1/2 to 27. And anymore right around 50 #

[sleek]

Oh sure.... Lol but would you have use for a short bow?

[hunterbob]

I prefer around 64 inch. But there is some tree stand situations that need a shorter bow.

[Urufu_Shinjiro]

Very cool sleek! Now on the next one put some horn on the belly and some sinew on the front and....lol I kid I kid.

[sleek]

I have throught of carving a pocket out the fades to mid limb and inserting a horn slat then sinew wrapping it with sinew on the back. Doing that would let me reflex the crap out of the fade and allowing a higher stress design with lightweight tips. Tiller it so the last half works and is recurved.

I like it. I like it a lot. If I recall correctly, those billets were rather straight. So, I guess all the interesting curves in the handle and fades are your doing? I do really like the way it came out. 26" from 48" ntn with a stiff handle is much more ambitious than I've ever been, but you pulled it off quite nicely. Can't wait to see it all dressed up.

I believe you're right, I am owed a bow and some maple arrow shafts as well. I had almost forgotten. Do you think you could scale that up slightly? 28" from 48" ntn is to much to ask I think. If you spliced two of the billets, could you still achieve that handle and fade look? Nevermind, you'll come up with something.

[sleek]

I believe i have come up with something. Thanks for your confidence in me. Now the hard part, pulling it off.

Ohhhhh paaaatriiiiccccc, ima need some help!

Really nice looking bow Sleek!  Did you use dry heat on those curves, and is it possible to see a picture of your caul?  Thanks.  Will B.

[Badly Bent]

Cool bow sleek, that bow fully drawn has a mean look to it. Impressive work on such a short bow for sure.

[Aaron H]
