Title: Please help
Post by: Chester Thompson on June 26, 2009, 12:07:00 PM

A while back I won a bow blank from Two Tracks Bow & Wool Company. I was assuming that it was more like the "u finish" bows that I had been looking at and it was not. It is way more work than I am able to do and I don't have the time or the tools to finish it. The blank is (if I remember correctly) a hickory backed osage. I would be looking at something in the  range of #52 @ 26".

What I am wondering is if somebody would be willing and ABLE to finish it for me. I would have to make sure it would be ok with the landowner, but if interested I might be able to trade a Texas hog hunt.

Thank you,
Chester

All you need is a wood rasp and a scraper to complete your bow. Draw out the profile on the back and rasp to that line then begin tillering. Post pics here as you go and we can walk you through the process.
