Shipping address
Best phone number to reach you
Best email to reach you
If you participated last year and the bow showed up to the right address and your contact info hasn't changed, I still need you to let me know. Until then you're still highlighted in pink on my list.
Also, there was one additional participant who contacted me by PM and I forgot to give the go ahead to prior. Srlbenn is number 18. Srlbenn, please send me your shipping and contact info via PM and post up your specs and any other info you want to share.
As soon as I get all the pink off my spreadsheet, I'll be sending out victim names.

For the bottom, its wide open. A nice piece of bocote, cocobolo or even charcoal dymondwood would really stop the train. you wouldn't even need accents with that stuff.
I have no idea what I 'm doing yet. If this trade is supposed to be forging new trails, then I'm looking at a tri-lam ala the wizard Mr. Roy himself or I have even thought of getting plans off of Kenny and wading into the short longbow territory. I have always thought that anything shorter than 64" shouldn't be called a longbow but hey, I'm not the only guy on the planet either. last year, Shred sent me one of his 62" 42# bows. I took that thing out deer hunting and it was a pleasure to have in my stand.
Post by: Bvas on January 30, 2019, 04:19:47 PM
So I’m pondering what to build my victim. :help:
I can do anywhere from 54-60” R/D longbow. I have some black walnut riser wood and lams. I could pair them up with something. Maybe some curly maple? Osage? Hmmm

love the new controller. next up is the new form :help:Are those ceramic tiles next to the bulbs? I like that idea though if that’s what they are. Do you have a fan to circulate the air also?
Yes, fan is always on too. You can kinda see it in the photo. The tiles create an air channel while avoiding hot spots.

I have my 1st glue up done. White pine bends real smooth and easy. Made a quick repair, the knot might still be an issue. Guess we'll see what happens.

Just got the email from Kenny that my order will ship tomorrow. Hoping to get my osage lams cut Thursday and get all my splices glued up over the weekend. But as with all my projects time frame may change. Don’t wanna get way behind incase I need to invoke a plan B.

This one is Bloodwood with contrasting veneers and an I beam in Courbaril with thin veneers. The limbs are Zebrano lams, Stabilkore, Bloodwood wedges and clear Bjorn glass.
I really hope I hit weight.
What do you think. I hope mister X like colors.

I like the blue Lonnie, it's even two tone!
Glued all my pieces together today and they all stayed in place. There was a point when I almost broke out the stapler as lonnie suggested. It's a little over poundage but I think by the time its tillered and the edges rounded it'll be about perfect.
Even has a little pink in her.

Buemaker, I need to build a jig like that. I've been clamping them on with an old set of limbs, it works but it's a pain.
Mike what is the darker wood in the veneers? Gonna be a looker!
I did some sanding on the riser this afternoon, got it roughed out. Only a couple imperfections so far. I'm getting reminded why I don't use fiberglass for accents in my risers.

My "Victim" (Is it OK to mention by name?) is looking for a 60" bow. The form builds up to a 58" bow but I think if I continue the arc and cut the ends down I can get a 60 incher.
Most pieces and parts are lined out but may need to give Kenny a call next week.

Some really nice work being done out there. I got the first glue up done on my sister risers. Two more glue ups and hopefully some warmer weather and I can start really building.

I got my second glue up done now. I’ll post a picture after I get them cleaned up.
Now I have a question. Both risers are made up of cherry and zebra wood with maple and walnut accents. I’m thinking of adding an I beam, but I’m not sure what to use. It will show on the back and belly and possibly in the sight window.
What would look good? I have a lot of wood to choose from. I was thinking of pau ferro, but I also have maple,walnut,red and white oak, cherry. There’s more,but I just can’t remember off hand. I’d welcome any opinions on this.
Dave.

I was hesitant to enter the swap this year because I'm in the middle of moving into my new workshop. I'm almost there though. I'll build a miter saw station this weekend, and then I can let the dust fly, and hopefully it ends up at the bottom of my collection system :goldtooth:

No, I didn't run a ground wire. I read enough about the subject and felt comfortable that it wasn't a big issue. I haven't had static buildup in the few times I've run the system so far. :o
The fact that the dust collector and all of the tools hooked to it are properly grounded, I'm really not worried about it.

Post by: BMorv on February 12, 2019, 04:41:06 PM
That's a modified harbor freight dust collector hooked to a dust deputy, exhausted to outside through my soffit. I'll grab a pick tonight.
I'm trying to figure out where to mount a hot box like you have there. I'm already running out of wall space.
Your shop seems to have filled out nicely. :)

Pause for Roy to finish laughing so he can hear the rest of the story...... :coffee: :coffee: :coffee:
Well as I am sure everyone has guessed, somewhere in all this I got some epoxy on one of the limb bolts. NEVER underestimate the strength of 5 minute epoxy, it even broke a hex head impact socket.
The good news is that the limbs are aligned perfectly and it will still make a purty bow, it just won't be a three piece takedown, more like one and a half.
Off to Plan B.

So what does the copper do for you. I have heard that the static will shock you.. Other than that causing a fire probably not.
It's supposed to eliminate the possibility of static in the PVC. I have it run from each pipe end to the vacuum body.
I only shoot good 1/2 the time Lonnie - ship it ! :laughing:
Riser looks incredible David :clapper:
Post by: wood carver 2 on February 12, 2019, 06:38:59 PM
It isn’t likely that a static spark will start a fire, but there is a slight chance. Especially if there’s a lot of fine sawdust in the system. My big planer generates a pretty good charge when I run wide white pine boards through. It can be annoying.

Fine dust can explode although I have never heard of it happening in a home system. A few decades ago we had a grain elevator hear in KC go up, quite the ordeal.

Lonnie I am betting you can drill the heads off that bolt and maybe heat it slow and a good pair of vise grips may move it. If not saw it flush and drill it like Roy said. If you get the limb off you can always build another riser.

Ben, not sure how well that works?
I bought one of those blower assy's and it didn't do hardly anything for me.
They supposedly are for "moving air/fine dust" like you have it setup for though.
It did nothing when connected to my tools.
But with my shop vac connected to the dust deputy, 99.99% goes into the dust deputy and practically "nothing" goes into the shop vac.

Not seeing what you done with the conduit?
LOL, technically conduit was the wrong word to use. What I did was put an allen wrench in the head of the bolt then heated the allen wrench which in turn heated the bolt without exposing the limb or riser to the direct heat of the torch.

With a few drawbacks like angry close by neighbors and removing heated or cooled air from your shop, exhausting outside is more efficient and better for your lungs. This 2hp machine does "suck" but in a good way. The last run on my setup is the bandsaw and I can't open the bottom access door without significant force because the suction is so strong.
I'm happy with my purchase. Get a 20% coupon if you buy it...https://www.harborfreight.com/70-gal-2-hp-heavy-duty-high-flow-high-capacity-dust-collector-61790.html
If you do have to filter inside your shop upgrading to a Wynn type filter is much better than the bags. https://wynnenv.com/products-page/woodworking-filter-pricing/35a274nano-cartridge-kit/
But they cost a good bit and even the good ones are questionable at filtering all the fine particles.
Sorry for the detour from the bow swap. My new shop was just supposed to be my slacker's excuse.

I used stretch wrap to put together a longbow. Plenty tight and the glue joints look good. Just a slight crown towards the limb tips but I think it'll be okay. Something I wanted to test - definitely not swap worthy, especially seeing the works of art so far :clapper:

I am certainly glad I am not making my living by making take down recurves. It would be a meagerly hourly pay, but it is interesting though.

Just checked the maple 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 x 19 and some 1/4 pieces have soaked about 2 cups still floating sooo vac again. Probably need to get another chamber and let it soak 3-4 days.
Post by: monterey on February 17, 2019, 10:40:29 AM
If my gauge is right 27.5. If you get 30 I would say you got a really strong pump. The maple takes on the juice till it wont float.
I will have a bit left over for youins that want to try it on sumpin else. Better wear prtection though :scared: :laughing: :laughing:
I'm confused about this (nothin new for me :) ). Wouldn't the absolute Max vac pressure be the same as the barometric pressure?
Maybe the process could be further enhanced by placing the wood and the juice in a tough but flexible plastic bag and then weight it down and submerge it in deep water?
According to calculations, there is .433 PSI per foot of submersion. One could obtain 30 PSI at a depth of 69.284065'.
At 140 feet the pressure would exceed 60 PSI. Probably not that many places where we could practically and legally submerge the project.
I foresee a new form of bowyer misbehavior, "pressure poaching". :)
The cabin fever is level reaching dizzying heights. Come on spring.

Post by: Flem on February 17, 2019, 02:11:07 PM
Never thought elevation would matter that much in a closed system. What does your pump do independently ?
It has to do with the density of the air, you can only get absolute vacuum at sea level. Don't ask me to explain why, the physics are beyond me :knothead:

Solvent based finishes most times will stick to oily woods without sealer.
I am not familiar with solvent based, just oil and water based. Unless oil based it solvent?

Rattle can Spar Urethane, I haven't had enough time to learn my spray gun adjustments well enough for this bow. I will do that on one that is less important.
Post by: kennym on February 18, 2019, 09:05:28 AM
I then give a couple coats of matte wheel finish to get a flatter finish, same brand.
I don't have a spray booth and have never yet bought a spray gun. So the rattle can finish of choice for me...

I have Shellac and have worked with it some. My experience is that, regardless of how I apply it, it globs on really thick and never seems to dry correctly so I end up stripping it back off and starting over. Can it be thinned?
It's better if cut with alcohol. I cut it about 50/50 with denatured and sand it in hard. It will still be gloppy but when it's cured it's easy to sand out. I use the zinser bullseye clear. The Amber will give an Amber undertone which is fine if you want that.
There's much classier shellac out there in dry form.
But, I think Kenny gave you the best solution. Whole thing done in an hour and a half.

My trade bow is almost done, it looks great, shoots fantastic (I hate to see it go) and it's quiet with the exception of a popping at the limb pads. I have chased it down and can make it stop by putting a bit of paper towel on the pads when I bolt the limbs on. Obviously that won't fly for my victim, except that it truly makes them a victim, so how do I get the limb bolts? pins? pads? to quit popping when the bow is drawn back?

I draw a line along the back of limbs and then flip the bow over, I want both limbs to bend the same. Sometimes they come in right, but this one needed some adjusting. For me this bow making gives a lot of head scratching, even though the limbs are exactly the same thickness and made on the same form, they do not always bend the same. I usually check at brace and 18-20 inch draw.

Some lams that had a big crook to them and couldn’t sell so ground them thin and they will bend sideways...
So that way you can shoot around corners.

Question for the group, as victims.... would you care if your bow was 2.35 # over target weight?I’d be alright with 2.3# over.......but 2.35# is waaaay to much :jumper:

Dang it, I was afraid of that, I guess I am gonna have to rework it. And it was shooting lights out too, except for two shots but I'll take the whoopin for those.

Heck no! Honestly getting a bow is a bonus, I'm getting so much enjoyment making one for someone I don't know. Starting to think I must be weird :help:
Skeater, looks like you were focused on your shooting, until you got the dreaded pink wedgie :bigsmyl:

All those awesome bows are starting to get the anticipation going.
My risers are ready now and I was digging through my wood stash for core lams. I have maple, walnut, cherry, hickory, Osage, bamboo flooring, and pacific yew. As well as padauk and purpleheart.
I also dug up a caul that I’ll use to pre-bend the recurve tips. I hope it’s warm this weekend. 🙂

I’m thinking 2# over top of your victim’s range is ok. It would be for me. But hopefully your victim speaks up directly.

Been fighting a sore lower back the past 2 weeks from lifting several 50 pound bags of corn for the deer, and at 1AM this morning it woke me up.
Was in so much pain and I couldn't even stand up.
Comes from falling off a roof 15 years ago breaking my back.
Went to emergency room at 4:30 this morning to get things checked out.
X Rays came back negative.
Got a couple shots in the thigh and some steroid pills there.
More pills to treat at home.
If problem persists, then it will be MRI time.
Getting old sucks!

Nothing was as bad as when I broke my back and severed my heel bone at the same time.
Off work 4 months, in a wheelchair for 2 months, then a walker for a month, then crutches another month.
I'm not one to sit around and that crap killed me.
Flem, the wife has had 3 back surgerys.
2 times on lower back and then a plate and 4 screws in her neck.
I always tell her she has a couple loose screws:)
Then run like hell... :laughing:

Dannon save your cut off pieces from the pads and use them to clamp your limb pad pieces on. Gives a flat surface and things dont slip around as bad.That’s what I was doing but the still tend to slide around a little bit. Thanks for the kind words guys!

Think I'd cut that apart and try again, Ben?
It's not a big deal. I used a little heat and broke the joint, then reground the angle on the correct end and glued it back together. It's drying right now.
I'm just amazed at my own stupidity sometimes.... :)
I do most of my bow work late at night after the wife and baby go to bed. I'll blame it on being tired...

Technical question for the brain trust. I am planning on “Z” splicing my lams but one of the guys I’ve been talking to in the local building group suggested scarf joints. I’m going with a 12” riser/handle on a trilam. What’s the consensus around here?

It depends for me Cody. Z’s are stronger but are more noticeable. If I have a thick riser and I’m not worried about strength I do a scarf joint.
Go with the z if you are putting a handle wrap on it.
Well my handle block will be roughly 1 1/4”- 1 3/8” deep with a solid bamboo back. I may just have to build two bows- one each way. Hoping to not have to use the handle wrap if I can, got something neat for the handle and be a shame to cover it up.

I find the z splice much more noticeable. Most of the time you have to look real hard to find the scarf joint. We agree on the strength part though....

The Z splice is no more visible than a scarf joint and 10 times stronger than a scarf joint.
Z splice below.
Roy, can you explain how you cut your joints? Seems like it would be a better joint than the scarf.

I certainly see the need for a Z splice in a Tri-lam but not sure it would be necessary in a glass bow since you really only need the scarf to hold things place while you get clamped down?

Also in my wood bows, there are 3 or 4 lams, plus a 1 inch thick riser, all centered right over the Z splice.
Never had a bow break there at the Z splice.
You gwass girls sure are fussy:)

A scarf is fine for most tri lams where the riser is strong enough. A Z is stronger though and I would use that if I was adding a handle wrap.
Check Bowyer's Bible 4 section on laminated bows. They build a tri lam with scarf joints :o

So if I can do that in 3 minutes with a coping saw and without a good straight edge, I guess I was working myself up for no reason. Gonna try it this weekend with proper tools and make sure my glue lines are good. Then I’ll decide from there. Need to stop making this so damn hard. If it makes a difference I’m not cutting in the shelf, it’ll be a shoot around handle.

Seen family doctor yesterday and he sent me to a hip specialist today.
Just back from Sports Medicine Specialist doctor visit.
No injection needed in my hip socket, just have a severe hip bone bruise.
So off to physical therapy for a couple weeks to get muscles back in tune and I'll be good as new.
I'll be back in the bow shop real quick like, working on the swap bow...

Well I ran into a little problem this morning. Glued a limb up last night for my victims bow and pulled it out of the oven this morning. Took it out of the form and cleaned the edges up and started removing the tape. The back of the the limb looked really good. Loved the look of the veneers I got from Kenny. Turned the limbbober and started to peel the tape from the belly of the limb and noticed immediately something didn’t look right. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: I flipped the veneer and the lam and didn’t realize it! No matter how many times I went over in my head how to lay up this limb I still screwed it up.

It looks like the maple is on the belly side and I agree with others, if it were for me that would not bother me a bit. Just give your best PeeWee Herman "I meant to do that" and duplicate on the other limb.

Post by: Roy from Pa on March 03, 2019, 08:42:04 PM
Gonna whip me up a riser with the black phenolic as the I beam inside the hackberry for a trilam.
I just gotta do a dry run of sorts to get it laid out so the phenolic ends up being in
the center of the riser at the arrow side plate surface.
Dat make sense?
I don't know how I'm gonna do it yet, but I'm gonna try.
That's as close to a glass bow that I wanna build.

Like xmas morning.
Be another week at least till I can start working on my swap bow, it's pretty close to tillering tree time but that's a little ruff on the lower back and hip area.

I managed to get into the shop yesterday and take some twist out of one of the billets. Got everything lined up well enough that I glued them up today. Put some deflex in when I glued them. Hopefully I can get it cleaned up tomorrow and put some reflex in. Please excuse the mess. I barely have room to get around my nephews stuff.

If that wrench don't do it you can always hang the motor on it. :)That’s one way to get more horse power in a selfbow :o
I guess that’d be ok. There’s no wheels with that engine :biglaugh:

Got some final supplies. Got kids conferences this week when the bow group meets so I’m yet another week behind. Hope to get something accomplished over the weekend but kind of limited on tools and heat here at home. Getting a few more good snow storms to slow me down, but I think I’m all set on materials so now just need time.
Everyone’s bows are looking good so far and hope to join those ranks soon.

How much weight did you hang on it? I have one with a nasty twist too that I need to finish some day.Don't know. :dunno: The wrench is pretty heavy and I hung a small bucket about half full of water on it. Wrapped wet rag covered with foil around area I wanted to twist and heated with heat gun until it twisted to where I wanted it. Let it cool overnight before taking wrench off. Appeared to be around 20 deg of twist.
If that wrench don't do it you can always hang the motor on it. :)Was afraid that the spun rod bearing in that motor would cause weird hand shock. :jumper:

Well you see it will still be a single string but those are so when you draw it brings the two halves together. It’s a very complex takedown design and people with spun bearings on an ecotec engine in there shop probably wouldn’t understand
. In all seriousness though I need to build a draw tree and those pulleys have been sitting on my tool box at work for 2 years for such a purpose. Finally remembered to grab them when I did some spring cleaning the other day at work.

Hopefully I will have time and it warms up this weekend to get the limbs profiled. I use a 4” grinder with a flap disc to get close, so it’s done outdoors. And I ain’t standing outside in 10-15 degree temps to do it.

Out of the form and looking pretty good. I did have a little slide down with the belly lams. I think with a little creative contouring it will be alright. If not, I guess I get a new bow :bigsmyl:

Is that a thin shorter like 12 inch lam out at the tips?
Post by: BMorv on March 06, 2019, 10:50:20 AM
Are you concerned about the thin spots of glue or the thick spots, Ben?
Is that a trick question? Didn't notice any thin spots. Had a barely noticeable thicker glue joint where the outer limbs transitions to reflex. I doubled up on my rubber bands in that area. I'm pretty sure it won't be an issue (I have bows still shooting with much worse) but would like to get it right for the swap bow.
Post by: Roy from Pa on March 06, 2019, 10:54:32 AM
First thought the tip wedge was a thick glue joint.
Hey I'm old, LOL...
Tip wedges are for gwass bows.
Yer getten too high tech there Mr. Ben:)
Post by: Bvas on March 06, 2019, 11:35:15 AM
Some bows are built with one limb shorter than the other, you could adopt that for this bow? I have a Striker Stinger which is built like that and I really love shooting it. Or am I misunderstanding what slid?It’s nothing that will effect bow length. The lams just slid down the belly ramps a little. I’ll just hafta lose a little more of the riser to get to the lam ends. The sight window side is no problem. It’s the grip side that has me concerned.Out of the form and looking pretty good. I did have a little slide down with the belly lams. I think with a little creative contouring it will be alright. If not, I guess I get a new bow :bigsmyl:

A nice gradual taper down to paper thin on the riser fades makes a world of difference.
Also, with the band form, always start banding at the center and work your way to the tips. This makes it easier to pull the lams into the ramps.

Got back from what was basically 3 weeks of straight travel this afternoon and the mailman showed up while I turned around to sneeze it seems.
(https://i.imgur.com/5KB2YCl.jpg)
It was super well wrapped. Of course, if I could build a bow this nice, I'd wrap the snot of out it too.
Mr. 4Point makes a heck of a nice bow, and it even included a new stringer and something very special that I'll talk more about when I take some proper pictures in the sunlight this weekend. I'm going to go shoot a few arrows in house at about 2 yards just to try this out, but should be able to give it a real go tomorrow after work or Saturday at the least.
This bow is amazing Travis, thank you!

First, Travis kept with the pink theme for this year's swap, although it's a bit subtle and I love it. The lams all have this pink feathering in the wood close to the riser:
(https://i.imgur.com/4hFeUVQ.jpg)
If you remember, Travis said he rushed this build for a reason to be divulged later. And he hinted to me that since I knew who was building my bow, he wanted to include an extra twist as a bit of surprise. I was very surprised when I saw this:
(https://i.imgur.com/olt0KWh.jpg)
Turns out, Barry was going to be speaking at his state bowhunter convention at the end of February and he had it in his head to get me Barry's autograph. Talk about a little extra mojo, thanks Travis!!!
I'm truly humbled not only by this bow from Travis, but by bows that everyone in the swap and on the bench continue to make and share on the forum. I've learned a lot here and it's pretty much the only online forum I still check with any kind of regularity. Thanks.

Great pic's Dave and thanks for the positive words about the bow. It's only 56 pounds at my draw length so it gains 2 pounds per inch from 28 to 31. Think I'll have to build myself one.

Its ready for the tillering tree, but I'm not quite ready to pull a bow 3 or 4 hundred times on the tree. That's a pretty good work out on the lower back.
But I'm hoping another week or 2 and I should be ready.
Post by: Buemaker on March 13, 2019, 09:59:24 AM
I did speedtesting today and you can see my square head shooting machine. I use two chronographs set up in a tandem configuration, the first one 3 feet downrange, in order to make sure I measure straight arrow flight. If the speed varies with more than a feet between the two it means the arrow did not go through in a straight line and the measured speed can be quite wrong. This is according to Blacky Schwarz and the late Norbert Mullaney.
I am bringing up an old thread where Blacky explains this.

I tested with a 18 strand flemish twist fast flight string.
Blacky used 16 strands, so if I had done the same I might have cranked out another feet or two. The speed was 197 feet.

Black Widow PAX tulipwood at 194 feet.
Great Plains Swift at 193 feet.
Hunter’s Niche Predator Hunter Classic at 198 feet.
So I guess mine is doing allright.
Post by: Buemaker on March 13, 2019, 10:37:42 AM
The speed was then 185 feet.
With the same arrow drawn to 29 and 30 inches the speed was
193 and 203 feet.

One of the guys in the group is making me a power lam so now it’ll be a quad-lam. Hopefully life slows down a bit here so I can get this ready to be tillered soon, only 2 weeks behind where i was hoping to be so doing good.

Worked really well :thumbsup: However, I won’t use that type of band again. They were like punching balloon bands. After 24hrs being stretched out, they started popping and breaking as soon as I touched them. Next time I’ll try the normal tan rubber bands.
I think it turned out alright.

Ben, that is coming along very nicely. I have many questions but I’ll hold them until post swap because the answers could reveal things. All these takedowns floating around here lately are making me anxious to try it.Seems like this year’s theme has changed to “hack your bow in two”.
But that does look good Ben.

Flem, I am filling the grain now, one more heavy coat tomorrow with a high gloss alkyd spray. Then I am going to sand it off.
And Flem, there is never too many questions. I think one of the joys in life is to learn new things, see how other people do things. That is one of the things I like about Tradgang, you can ask questions and people are freely sharing their knowledge. So I am glad if I can contribute with something. :)

Bow is underweight by about eight pounds. Which is even worse than it sounds, because I was aiming for the upper half of my victims range. So technically I missed weight by about fifteen pounds!!!!
Luckily I built it long. So I’m gonna try piking an inch off each end. Hopefully I can hit close to the low end of my victims range.

Now that the hard part is finally done, I guess I better get on with the rest of it. Crooked -- can you help a brother out with some pink? I want to stick with the theme like everyone else. Whatever you made those wedges out of will be perfect for what I have in mind.

I saw Canopy's post about his 2 pc takedown problem from 2016. I didn't look at the link because I didn't want to be deterred from taking on this 2 pc. Sooo since my bow is now cut in 2, I looked at the link. Now I'm nervous. Hopefully my glass-less tenon holds up. I've seen many examples of all wood bows working, but I'm still nervous.....Fingers crossed.
Benton -- Some words of encouragement?
1 - Your tenon looks way more massive than mine did.
2 - You've got more osage in there.
3 - At least mine came apart (the other risk with what you're about to do.)

Seriously, I think you'll be fine, but I've still got my fingers crossed for you. I have not built an all-wood one since or ever will. Once burned, twice shy...

Brad -- Some words of encouragement?
1 - Your tenon looks way more massive than mine did.
2 - You've got more osage in there.
3 - At least mine came apart (the other risk with what you're about to do.)
4 - If it does break, it will probably happen slowly; you'll have lots of warning.
Seriously, I think you'll be fine, but I've still got my fingers crossed for you. I have not built an all-wood one since or ever will. Once burned, twice shy...
Thanks for the words of encouragement. But my bow is fine. Underweight, but fine. :biglaugh:

Was at 24 inches and noticed a crack on the belly.
No knots around it either.
Back to square one, dammit.
The wood is darker there cause I wet it to show the crack better.

sorry about the crack Roy
I'm at final sanding stage. Gonna try the wheel finish as it sounds better than poly and I'm not buying a sprayer and T-Bird yet. Can't see the other lams in pic but hit weight on the money. Thinking I should start over though since it ain't got no pink in er :readit: although the cherry looks a little pink in the photo .... :dunno:

well, at the start of this thing...I thought...why not do something I've never done before. I've always wanted to build a hill style longbow so I thought why not? so, I built a form and pulled the prototype bow off the form today. Thanks to some on here for tips on layup, I was able to hit #50 right off the form. once I sand it, i'll probably lose a couple pounds but overall, came out right where I wanted it...so I've pretty much set on one of these or a selfbow for the trade...just need to make a decision and go with it.
Thats awesome! Good on you. Now where are the pics? ;)

Never had or even shot a self bow. Osage seems to be the wood of choice, but I’d be interested in seeing how hickory and ash is handled.

Egads! Hope your lungs ain't yellow :o. Did you build that edge sander? Looks nice.
I'm going on round two. Actually have real Walnut this time around. Did learn that Butternut will make a good kids Bow :banghead:
Going to have to decide on a riser
Still need to layup some glass. Hopefully tomorrow. Need to get this thing done.
That one on the right
Post by: canopyboy on April 01, 2019, 09:21:21 PM
Tim, I’ve shot some fast and fine hickory bows. Also played with ash that shot very smooth but it always took some set for me. But as was said before, it’ll be tough to top that Osage stave IMO. And being in an Osage desert, receiving one would be an extra special bonus. Oh wait, guess it’s not for me...

Any recommendations or warnings?
As hard as this stuff is, I was surprised how easily my under-powered Bandsaw with a worn 1/4" blade sliced through it.

here is one I did using the superglue sealer.
Ok Tim, now I change my vote to you doing something with cocobolo.
Post by: Flem on April 02, 2019, 01:09:14 PM
The other thing I rediscovered about Cocobolo, it's very expensive! That looks like about $100. worth of the stuff :o
I use conversion varnish for finish. Usually seal with dewaxed shellac or vinyl sealer.
Do you thin the superglue or is there a low viscosity type?

Got me some VHT satin today for a hurry up bow I want to take to Tradfest. Be nice if it was available in pints for spraying. Think it would be a good top coat. Too thin for good filling.

Think he's tapped out.
Roy, let's be honest. If you need some glass to finish this project and even the guy in missouri is tapped out too, I can guarantee that people will be lining up to send you some. Most probabably free of charge just to see what you could do with it. Heck, some might even overnight it to you.
You just let us know if you have any more trouble with that there osage stuff, and we'll hook you up good...

Put a 3/8th thick piece of purple heart between the birdseye maple riser and the bow.
Almost looks like one of those gwass bow guys made a riser wif a high tech template:)
Was exciting though when it got away from me shaping it and stalled out the 2HP edge sander:)
All this time I thought I had a bad ass edge sander..

Lay them out like below, then when you cut them out, just barely leave the lines.
Then get a snug, not tight, fit by sanding a little. Ya need a little gap for glue, maybe 1/64th.
Don't force the joint together or it will split the board.
I use a 1 inch belt sander and can slide the belt inside the cuts and slowly clean them up.

As far as my z splice failures, I believe it was more my bandsaw than my ability. I was using some 1/2” pine to do some trial and error. Ryobi discontinued my free saw so I have to order blades online from sources I’m not familiar with. Need to go to wood craft and see if they have one that will fit. If these splices don’t hold up it will set me back a week to do that. Thanks for the info Roy, it’s not in vain just beyond my tools abilities at the moment.

My buddy and I were walking back to camp one day and there were a bunch of grouse on the road ahead of us. He must have caught whatever I have because we both emptied our quivers before I thumped one on top of it’s head with my last arrow. We laughed our heads off and when we got back, we shot a bunch of beer cans full of holes. To be clear, the cans had been emptied first. 😜

I'm slowly making progress on mine. Was planning on making progress today and try to get a couple of pic's up, but doctor gave me a shot in my shoulder yesterday and my shoulder hasn't recovered from it yet. Didn't tell me it might make it worse for up to 72 hrs untill after he gave it to me. Anyway I have it starting too bend well at floor tiller and am ready to heat in some reflex.

An update on my bow: I'm going to start another one. There was a very small spot that I noticed after I applied the finish. It's too small to be captured with a picture. I didn't know if it was a small splinter or what but figured I would shoot it in and monitor it. I shot the bow a couple hundred times over the past 2 weeks and the spot hasn't changed at all but I just realized that I will never trust it 100%, so I'm starting a new one. No sympathies are needed. I'll keep the bow and shoot it myself, I just want to be the one to take that small chance that it turns into something, not my victim.

J/K Ben, I couldn't send out something I was completely confident in either :thumbsup:

Sorry about that Roy. That's when pain really hurts when it prevents you from doing what you want to do.
An update on my bow: I'm going to start another one. There was a very small spot that I noticed after I applied the finish. It's too small to be captured with a picture. I didn't know if it was a small splinter or what but figured I would shoot it in and monitor it. I shot the bow a couple hundred times over the past 2 weeks and the spot hasn't changed at all but I just realized that I will never trust it 100%, so I'm starting a new one. No sympathies are needed. I'll keep the bow and shoot it myself, I just want to be the one to take that small chance that it turns into something, not my victim.
Been there Ben , that stinks I know. I still look at bow number one and wonder if I can fix it but I’m not shipping it out with a known defect.

I still look at my underweight bow and wonder how short it would have to be to make weight :banghead:
I used to use one of those fine toothed mastic spreaders, when I was using EA-40. That stuff is so thick!
Now I use a chip brush with the bristles cut back. Less squeeze out, less waste. Epoxy's expensive!

I have another trilam here that's already done, but it's 5# over what the recipient requested.
However these wood bows will lose 3 to 5 pound usually after about 400 shots.
Time will tell, as I'm still waiting to hear about MRI request to insurance company.
Been dealing with this lower back pain and spasms for 3 months now and it's gotten very old and depressing.

Post by: Bvas on April 14, 2019, 06:28:08 PM
5# wouldn’t bother me either. Also, if Dave can, or needs to do any shuffling.....I will pass on receiving a bow and still ship mine on behalf of Roy. Not that I wouldn’t love to have a bow from one of the great guys here. But that’s not why I got in the trade.

I've got 6 weeks till deadline plus this other bow here that's 5 pounds heavier.
Or I can forward the bow that Goodersan sent me, couple guys I'd love to send it too:)
And I've been told someone else is sending me a bow, prolly pink too.
So I'll cover my end of the bow swap one way or another.

Get fixed you old fart. 1 or more of us will cover if needed. I'm working on 2 more at the moment. Should be done in 6 weeks
x2 to all four sentences, especially on the first two. Roy, get better, but don't worry. 1 - you'll be fine once you learn to suck it up. 2 - even if you're not, you'll eventually get better and I'm sure your victim won't mind the wait. 3 - 5 pounds over will be fine for most guys here (it was +/- 5 lbs in the rules anyhow), especially once it breaks in a bit. 4 - if it really gets that bad, I'll make sure we get your victim taken care of.

Now I guess I need to make my jigs so that it all glues up into a riser nicely. While I love the riser jigs I've made once they're done, I always put off the making them part too long. But with 6 weeks to go, I better get after it. Who knows when my back will go out and I'll need some time to recover?

Roy I’d like to say thanks for all your help thus far. Got the facets done and that helped a bit. Still no way I’d ever get a string on it at this point but the floor tiller is looking a whole lot better. I am learning that next time make my core much thinner but also taper the core. Had to leave the shop for a bit but may be able to get back at it in a while or tomorrow.

You never listen...
:laughing:
Make those facets wider and deeper.
Don't even try to string a bow that's way too heavy.
The string will never hold it first of all and you don't want to string it till it's been tillered on the tillering tree with a long string.

I was using it more as an indication of amount of bend, I wasn’t going to attempt any type of string yet. Heading to Easter dinner but hope to be in the shop later. How deep should I take the facets? At this point I’ve got all edges broke evenly respectively with a little more material removed on the belly than the back.

Post by: Roy from Pa on April 21, 2019, 01:32:10 PM
If it's still too heavy, then deepen the belly facets by taking them lower to the center like the red lines show, then round over the sharp peak on the center of the belly.
All the while keeping the belly "surface" at an even nice gradual taper from fade to limb tips.
You want no humps or dips in the belly surface.
Get down on your knees and look straight across the belly surface for a nice even taper.

Plan B is under way. Gotta say, even though the deadline is breathing down my neck now, I'm glad the swap isn't over yet for me. I got to implement the things I learned from Plan A. Even have one of those fancy I-Beams. Figured I needed one less thing to worry about with this build. It's ready for glue up.

You have a few options for a bulging disc. From Chymopapain injections to laser slicing. Or a long wait for it to shrink, which it will do over time. It's a Bit** anyway you look at it. You must have been playing hard and fast at some point in your life.
When I'm hurting, I think of a quote from HST;
“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”
Post by: Bvas on April 22, 2019, 06:59:00 PM
Confession-My swap bow has been done for about two weeks. Started out that I wanted to shoot it some before I shipped it. The more I shot it, the more I liked it. The more I liked it, the more I shot it :biglaugh:
The bow is no record setter in the speed department. But not bad either. Finger release I’m consistently getting 172 with a 10gr arrow. I am most impressed with how quiet the bow is. I bet mouse farts are louder than this bow.
Now the question-Is it completely wrong that I want to take this bow turkey hunting the next week or two before I ship?

Ifin ya happen to drop that bow and it lands on a rock and nicks the glass, well then you will have yourself a new bow.
Ifin ya slam the truck door on the bow tip, ya will have yourself a new bow.
Ifin ya drive the tip into a rock on the ground when ya shoot that gobbler, ya will have yourself a new bow.
Not like you have Never dropped a bow on a concrete floor before?
Go ahead and take it hunting, you have plenty of time to build another one, and ya will have yourself a new bow:)

Well, not much time tonight to get caught up on my tracking, but: There were 18 entrants. I think there were 3 received not counting Roy's bonus bow, but I need to double check (Skeater, 4Point, and Bue?) If I missed yours, don't be offended I'm having trouble remembering my name at the moment. There are several bows on the verge of shipping and waiting on final finish or turkey blood.
If you haven't posted an update in the last couple weeks, please do so even if you can't figure out how to find and work your camera. I'll take whatever info I can get. If you've already pm'd me lately, you're good.

Although admittedly there may be some who would look at that and say, "Crap, I only have 5 weeks!?"
As for me, with the riser done I plan to grind my lams and glue up this weekend. Pictures to follow...

Good news/bad news for my victim. Took the bow out five days turkey hunting. Never had a shot opportunity until this morning. And I blew it. 25yd shot went cleanly over his back. So sorry no turkey mojo. Good news I’m gonna go back to using my bow before Murphy decides to show his face. So I will try to get the bow packaged up and out this week.
More good news Even though no turkey blood wasn’t spilled. We did manage to spill a little shroom blood. So it does have a little shroom mojo. I guess if my victim doesn’t like the way the bow shoots it’ll make a fancy walking stick for shroom huntin :biglaugh:

I was curious where the Koa was native too. Holy Crap! That stuff is the platinum of woods! And the curly stuff is beyond exotic.
Who ever gets Dave's bow is going to need a security detail to take it out of the house. :notworthy:
This wood has been in the family for a few decades now, maybe some of you will appreciate hearing the backstory:
My dad is a custom cabinet builder out in OR who went into business for himself back in '74. In the 80's he had a slighly older gentleman named Jim who worked down at the local lumber yard for years start working part time in the cabinet shop as well. I grew up with Jim around; he was a fountain of knowledge, tips and tricks, and positive attitude. The guy whistled the entire day as he worked. When I worked in the shop as a teenager, we would always stop at 10:00 and have a tea/coffee break. There were 3-5 guys in the shop usually, and we'd spend 15 minutes maybe sharing some donuts and definitely stories. It was a good way to grow up. Jim has since passed on, and while I planned to just talk about the wood I couldn't help but take a detour...
So, the lumber yard in question had all sorts of mill work and hardwoods as well. Back then koa was still being exported as raw lumber from Hawaii (my understanding is that has since ended, generally only finished koa products are exported now.) Jim would keep his eye out for boards that had some curl to them and then grab them for my dad. They went back in the lumber pile. I know there's some other good stuff in there, but I didn't know about this until last year when my dad pulled it out to re-do his dining room table. He had maybe a dozen 6" x 6' boards and was going to slice it up into some fairly thick veneers for the table. I told him to keep me in mind for the scraps. When I went out back in January, he had two boards he hadn't sliced up yet. I picked out the one with the most character and shipped it out to Viriginia. I hope the curl really shows up under the glass, but even if it doesn't it's still koa and the bow will still have a bit of Ol' Whistling Jim mojo in it for the recipient.

Now I need to get busy with my swap bow. I think I’m going to build two bows at the same time to hopefully avoid any problems.

On a side note. Would you prefer the yew natural or faux snake skin backed?
@BMorv cutting a good bow is like jumping out of a good airplane isn't it?
Post by: BMorv on May 01, 2019, 05:26:20 PM

I'd like the yew natural if it was me. Too pretty to cover up. Snakeskins are cool, but should be saved for covering up sinew IMO.
As for cutting it in half, no guts, no glory. But when I've done it, I've done it before I get it down to final floor tiller, let alone long string (ok they were glass and no long string involved.) That gave me a bit more wiggle room to make sure if the alignment moved a touch when sleeving them back together the bow and tiller were just the way I wanted them as a 2 piece.
Post by: BMorv on May 01, 2019, 06:07:49 PM
1st one didn't move as far as alignment goes, but I did take a good 10 minutes making sure tips and handle were aligned before wrapping.

Steve, bow is looking great. I’m with majority.....ah natural. Snake skins are cool, but even cooler when collected yourself.
Ben, one piece or two. Either is great. I don’t travel a bunch so two piece isn’t necessary.

Do you scrape off the rind also?
Post by: Roy from Pa on May 03, 2019, 11:08:39 AM
Sometimes there are longitudinal depressions running the length of the boo, I don't try to get the rind up out of those.
Doing so would mean scraping too deeply into the boo surface alongside them, and ya don't wanna do that.
Plus they give character to the boo.
If you leave the rind on, it will not accept any stain.

Was hoping to have it glued up sooner, but I done messed myself up gluing riser block mosaics. In a hurry, I turned on the bow oven to start preheating without looking inside. I had previously stuck my air hose in there for storage and apparently it was leaning against one of the light bulbs. A little melting of the outer braid resulted. I figured it'd be ok, but just to be sure I did a pressure test before committing to the glue up. A loud pop at about 35 psi made me appreciate having gotten more methodical as my years add up. Put a new hose together last night, held pressure fine by morning, so back on track to ship 4 weeks from today or sooner!

I’m finally back in my shop and bows are being built. 😊
I’m taking a different tack and building two longbows. Both have bamboo backs and bellies and one has a hickory core, while the other has a yew core. The risers are made with zebra wood and padauk with accents of maple and wedge.
My original plan was to build a recurve, but work and other commitments have limited my shop time. I have three risers for recurves ready to go, so I will build one if I still have time. I just wanted to build a nice looking bow and a longbow is what I know best.

Nice, is that the BearPaw glass?
Bue - Yep, this is my first try with Bearpaw. I ordered the crystal clear from Kenny and so far I'm very happy with it. I'm gluing up two bows at the same time, and when I peeled back the tape last night, both looked truly crystal clear. I didn't notice a single streak in either, and I think this koa is dark enough they would have popped right out if present.

Ben- if you remove that tape you won't have to try so many times :laughing:LOL.
Grooves are for better adhesion correct ? I haven't seen that done before.
The cut grooves are just there to set the depth and allow me to chisel out the relief for the takedown.
The tape is a little more than 1/8" from the teeth.
I didn't snap a pic on this bow, but you can see how it's done on my 1st attempt.

I glued up my bow last night. It came out pretty good except I missed weight. If anyone can draw it, you can use it to launch an arrow into orbit. It shows that I haven’t been in my shop for too long. I can fix it, but it will require major surgery.
Good thing I have another riser and lams waiting to go.

Bow does look nice Dave. What's that device it's resting on?
My edge sander. Designed and built it so I could get an entire longbow limb on the platten without it taking up my whole shop. Love that thing. Tried it with a 36 grit belt for the first time on this bow. Wow.
Koa Koa Koa. Looking at your bow Dave, I just noticed an advantage of the forward handle. No cutting glass!
Thats got to make the lay-up easier. I'm a little slow sometimes :knothead:
Cutting glass is easy. Reverse handle usually means more work IMO. I need to splice more lams before glue-up. And the double curvature makes it a bit tougher to get good glue lines if any lams up the back of the bow get thick, which means if I want to run a core lam and veneer up the back I end up with with 5 laminations total instead of 4.

Less than 1/16” tiller with a 6 1/2” brace. Got it to full draw without any weird noises. Gonna string up my bow and see how it feels comparatively to this ones draw weight. Something tells me I missed my weight by a bit.

Got enough to make about 10 bows! I will attempt more tri-lam ELB's, but not with Cherry as the belly wood! Maybe not with Purpleheart either, it fractured along with the Cherry. The Maple back is fine and it actually had the most suspect grain.

Not totally happy yet with the antler limb tips but they are coming along. The walnut accent in the mulberry riser looks pretty good though. Gotta do something with that pale hickory backing for sure though... unless my recipient wants snow camo.

Tried to take a few more scrapes and got my tiller off. Fixed that and now it’s looking good again. Worked the limbs down to 220 grit on the belly and that helped a bit more. Doesn’t seem to be stacking as I feared.
I’m happy with it at this point with the bumps and bruises that happened with my rookie mistakes. Get back at it again tomorrow.

Still sitting at about 1” of set after ~50 shots. Getting weight off the tips reduced the shock by quite a bit. Was shooting 400-650g arrows with similar performance and accuracy. Gonna be a shame to ship this one off. Gonna keep some suspense so I apologize in advance to Roy, but no more pictures until she’s done. Gonna get her all dressed up with the details now.

Post by: BMorv on May 15, 2019, 09:15:00 AM

I really am a little concerned about how light colored the Hickory backing is. If my recipient wants to hunt with the bow it would be pretty bright in the woods. It looks good... but maybe not too useful as a hunting bow.
I have used stains on Hickory before and it takes well. The Mulberry is pretty dark so a dark stain would go good.
Also, what is the general consensus on darkening fresh Osage? I usually just let it age-darken naturally but again... pretty bright on this bow right now.

I had to do a similar thing. Was gonna do a straight up Hickory backed Mulberry and it came in below weight. I was going to scrap it but I added an Osage parallel to the belly and its pulling good now. Looks cool too.
6-8# over is no big deal. It will shoot in fine.

I’ve been scraping and sanding the edges and it’s making a little bit of a difference, but I’m afraid one limb may end up a little narrower than the other.
Other than that, it feels like it will be a snappy shooter.
Dave.

Gonna ship my swapbow out this week.
Shot it some today, fast, smooth, accurate, and quiet, but a tad heavy for my old arse......
Who wants it?
I don't like the guy I gotta send it too:)

The left one has a maple core and a white oak and walnut riser with a jatoba I beam and osage power lam.
The right one has a yew core and the riser is made from zebrano and padauk with maple and wedge accents.
Both have bamboo backs and bellies. The back of the R.D. Bow is carbonized.
So, if you were my victim, which bow would you choose? :goldtooth:
Dave.
Post by: Fishinglink on May 20, 2019, 06:43:15 PM
To answer carver’s question I’d probably pick the one on the right.

Yup Tim's been to my shop quite a few times.
Had a visitor yesterday, Dave Canopyboy stopped for a few hours.
He drew my pink bow from gooberson and drew my swap bow I built.
He wanted to keep the pink bow but I said no, its special...
:laughing:

Stopped by Roy's yesterday afternoon. I think he half expected me to show up with a bow... :laughing:
Now that swap bow he already has is amazing. Goob actually put a lot of work into a bow with good tiller and alignment. Once the duct tape skins and rabbit hair grip are stripped down, it would actually make an awesome kids' bow.
I did see his recipient's bow though and figured out what's taking him so dang long to ship. I wouldn't want to part with it before I had to either. Someone will be very happy me thinks!
If I'm counting correctly, only 9 days left!

Enough of that, making progress. Looking like a Bow, finally! It's tillered and mostly shaped. Call me sick and twisted, but I enjoy all the sanding and shaping. I do wish I had a downdraft table for the micro glass dust.

Post by: Fishinglink on May 23, 2019, 09:15:39 PM
Good news- Bow is sanded down to 220 and is looking pretty good. It also shoots well but that may be subjective.
Bad news- There is a daily rain forecast of 50% for the foreseeable future. It looks like Monday morning may be my best chance if the weather man is right. If my window isn’t there or I miss it Monday I may miss the deadline. Gonna be a real buzzer beater here. Just need 6 hours of clear weather. It will dry inside so not too worried about that just need to be able to spray outside.
Gonna get shipping supplies tomorrow.

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190526/574f0ef1da02f77e248742f7f67abc48.jpg)
It’s a 62” RD trilam, looks to be about 45#@28. Shoots smoothly with minimal vibration that should clear up with whiskers. My full length 400 carbons fly good but 40-45 woodies fly very stiff. Gonna order some dark timbers to play with.

Did not get to spray yesterday, been cold, raining and humid here. Green house didn't get above 66 yesterday. Wife is home today, no way I'm spraying, even if it stops showering. Tomorrow's my day, partly sunny in the afternoon :thumbsup:. Should be able to ship on thurs or fri.
Post by: Fishinglink on May 27, 2019, 01:26:20 PM
I made the mistake of hanging my bow in front of my target so I can’t even shoot until it’s finished now. Needs one more coat before the 320 grit rub down then final coat of semi goes on with a matte mist overtop. Really liking the richness that came out of the bubinga and maple. Final pics before she gets shipped out should be up here tonight.

Flem, I’ve seen guys put the shelf on the wrong side. But that was left and right. Never seen anybody put one on the bottom. How ya supposed to keep an arrow on that??? Looks good though :thumbsup:

I'm gonna call and tell yer wife:)I'll be in trouble if it still stinks when she gets home! This will be a good test of what I can get away with.
Woodpuppy, the rule of thumb for epoxy is, for every 18deg above 72 the cure time is cut in half.
So a 24hr cure epoxy will cure in your 101deg garage in 10-12hrs.

Got the last coat on. The greenhouse was up to 90deg. Flashed off in less than 10min. Hopefully we won't be eating toxic greens for dinner :scared:
Once my father in law was using a product called “rexthane” to refinish floors in our house. He put one of his brushes in the freezer so he could use it the next day, I guess he thought that would halt the product curing? Anyway the food from the fridge tasted a bit off and we ended up pitching a couple hundred dollars worth of groceries. All so he could save a $2 brush 🙄

We used rexthane once for the floors in our house, talk about getting high.
OMG...
Never used it again...
Except for it’s taste I liked the stuff! It sure was a durable floor finish. The dogs sure skittered trying to make a turn :laughing: and we could do some awesome “risky business” sock foot slides...

On a side note I got whiskers installed on the bow from Roy and put another 50 or so shots on it. Between Kenny’s 60” FHLB and Roy’s it will be tough to choose a go to bow this fall. May have both in the truck every time I go out.

Steve, I've used cow horn in the past. A farmer friend gave me some horn tips they cut off young bulls. There were some pretty colorful tips in the bunch he gave me. Wish he could get me more.

The cow horn i used came from a muzzle loader supply company that makes powder horns. They sold the tips by the pound. In an assortment of colors.Cant remember the name of the place tho.

Well, she aint fully graduated yet for a couple more days, but drinking coffee after Daughter Unit #2's graduation party last night and that was the big thing around here that sucked up a few days of my life. I tuned in to more than 4 pages of posts to catch up on. I agree with Roy, cool all these bows coming and going now.
I had some dust defects on the final coat for my recipient's bow last week, need to rub it out. So after harassing all y'all to get shipped on time, I'll be shipping late. Will be in the mail tomorrow.

I figured how to get into the package :biglaugh: Excellent packing job Josh :thumbsup:
Inside was a beautifully crafted bow from Goob along with two strings (a B50 and a Ff) along with some silencers. Only had time to fling a couple arrows. But first impressions are very good :thumbsup: I’ll write up a little more later along with a full draw pic after a bit. But for now.....

We are at 83% complete, I have one bow I know is in the mail and tracking says it will be delivered on Monday which will put us at 89%.
I have the following still needing to ship:
Dannon - recovering from limb failure
OkKeith - recovering from storms/flooding/etc but should be on the verge of shipping
I have the following still waiting to receive:
Dannon

Flem, no glass, only gwass. ;)
I’m glad that you like it Ben. Let me know what you get if you chrono it. I’ve always been curious. It’s easy to burn the belly lam. Once I get the bamboo flattened on the jointer, I take a propane torch to the outside of it. It blackens very quickly. I burn it until I see the waxy coating char. Just be careful to not let it catch fire. Give it a few minutes to cool and you’ll notice that the inside where you planed it is convex now. I think this is a good thing because now I can plane it and sand it really thin.
Pm me if you have questions.
Dave.

So for those of you that are following closely, you'll notice that there isn't a lot of mystery left. Somehow this year when I was drawing names out of the hat (or maybe it was a bowl, can't remember...) I checked to see that people didn't have who they had last year, that people who requested wood or glass were good, but forgot to make sure two bowyers didn't have each other as victims. And sure enough, we had two pairs this year! My apologies, but it seems that all is working out regardless. OkKeith sent me a note that he's been away on work travel after the storms but that the bow should have just been sent on his behalf. Dannon is rolling on plan B with a little over two weeks left in the grace period so I'm not too worried. And I think after seeing plan A his victim will be ok waiting just a touch longer.
Thanks to everyone who helped make this one of the most on-time swaps ever. Appreciate the commitment!
And as for me, my new arrows to tune to the swap bow for hunting season showed up today and are slowly acquiring their feathers. I can't wait!

And a huge thanks to you Dave for all the work you did :clapper:
I still have some work to do though. Need to finish my first failure, but the kid I was going to give it to has dropped off the radar with his Mom. That and I need to make Tim a replacement, the one I sent was blemished and just a stop-gap. Hopefully he will find someone who needs a bow to give it too, when he gets the replacement.
Giving kids/teens homemade Bows is one of my favorite things to do. I'm pretty sure roaming the woods with my Bow kept me out of a lot of trouble when I was young!

On another note I plan on having my swap bow finished by early this coming week. I’m in the final sanding on the limbs and then get the finish sprayed on and it will be done.
Here are a few pics of my swap bow.

I can't say enough about the bow Dannon built for me! I will let him describe all the beautiful woods and veneers. They are gorgeous! Pulls smooth, shoots great. Planning to build some special arrows and get a great quiver for this wonderful bow.
Thank you Dannon, for my first custom made bow!
