This is TradBowyer, prepping his hickory, walnut, hickory bow.
Then I started my yew, yew, boo r/d.
Canopyboy, Dave, gifted me a pair of awesome yew billets.
And fujimo gifted me more yew billets.
Z splice
Thinning belly lams.
Z splice drying and good beer.

That is nothing to worry about. They are filled with smooth on now, and will be sandwiched between the boo backing and the belly lam, in the center of the grip, inside a 13 inch riser....

I think they will look good together too..
The two yew billets Canopyboy sent me, "are the most awesome", cleanest, knot free, yew billets I have ever seen. ANYWHERE!
I've had them for about a year now, and have had yew billets from Fujimo for about 5 years now.
I am excited about building this bow....
Post by: Roy from Pa on May 11, 2018, 12:47:15 PM
Looks pretty sweet.
Had trouble blending in the end of the riser, the wood kept flaking off when it got thin.
Then discovered the end of the riser glue joint was loose.
Think I used a soft maple instead of a hard maple. DUH dammit!
So I removed the riser with a putty knife and gotta glue on another one, and it's gonna be Osage this time....
See Johnny, you are not the only one who screws up.. :laughing:

Lucky that you mixed both components of the EA40 from hardener cans, otherwise might not have scraped off so easy. :biglaugh:
