got tillered,smoked,new war paint ;),and is bieng kept next to heat for warmth till i get its winter "fat" on her.
i will finish and stitch leather handle, and make string tonite.

2 kills...this bow did not want to be weak!
it has plenty of power to shoot THRU deer right now at 22",and last you MANY YEARS . as i pulled it to 26",and the weight went thru the roof.
just get lots of practice in.
fast like a mustang.

ill post finished pics tonite.

Nice work Jamie. Tell me about how you apply the bear grease. On the few I have applied it I just hand rubbed it(with ground charcoal for coloration)     Pat

i first color the limbs with ochre and hardwood charcoal first and apply with a little water while bow is still white and untreated..but smoked.
then i let dry good.
then i wipe down good with cloth
then i heat up the bow to help open pores and apply grease.
warm bow,cold grease.
wipe on and buff dry.
just once should do,as i smoked the bow prior.
you probably doin the same as me .

the grease i have is dood and stiff and just has slight smell, i cant figure out how to get that out but im goin to try rendering down one more time and adding some pine bark to give good scent.

cold lard will work too.
just buff dry.
