black locust complete
« on: October 09, 2008, 01:57:40 am »
Its finished. I have tried to send pics, but iit keeps saying error file to big and when I try to correct it it tells me I have already posted it. I haven't seen my post on there yet. Anyway thanks to you guys and your help . The bow ended up 65" tip to tip 58# backed with goat skin rawhide. The handle is also rawhide with a roled arrow rest. finished with hemp string over top of the rawhide.

Thanks again and ikf I can ever figure out how to send the pics I will

When I now read additional options it tells you that your pics cannot be over 200kb,  upon checking my pics their all from 560kb to 3.2mg. any ideas?

Open up a photobucket account and save the pics there.  You just have to download pics one time and they are done.  You can also open and name different folders in photobucket, which makes it easier to find picks later when you have several thousand.  Anyway, photobucket will automatically resize them.  When you start a new topic or post a message, open the photobucket in a different browser and you can just copy the IMG code (bottom of the list) from photobucket and paste it directly into the post.  I do not use the additional options or the insert image link ( second from the left).  Copy and paste works much faster.  When you are dsone with copy and paste, click Preview and make sure the pics took and then post it.  As long as you leave the pics in the original photobucket file, they will always be on your post.  If you move them to a different file later, red X's will appear on the old post.

You can also select your jpeg, and "Open With", then choose "Paint". Once in "Paint", select "Image", then select "Stretch and Skew", then under the "Stretch" heading change the "Horizontal" and "Vertical" each from "
100%", to about "20%".

Hmmm, I'm going to be in Los Angeles all week. Better give me a heads up as soon as you figure out how to post your images.  Otherwise, I'm likely to forget.

This is slow. Goat skin rawhide handle with hemp string on top. Since this pic the backing has been stained with a walnut stain which came out about 2 shades darker than the rest of thebow for a nice contrast.

It appears to have some major hinges in each limb, too much stiff wood on each end of the handle.

Hey Eric I don't think their really hinges, but
 just the snakes. I have tried to put
inpics of the bow unstrung to show this but I just can't seem to
remember how to do it.
