Stain is black walnut aniline alcohol base dye, with 3 coats of tung oil over top.

Don't want to give you the big head Roy but that is one of the best I have ever seen, you definitely have the hang of making that type of bow.

Title: Re: BBO Done
Post by: Pat B on July 20, 2021, 08:38:25 AM

Too late about the big head, Eric.  :readit:   :laughing:

Beautiful job sir. I need to make one of those sometime. Tried a few just can't get any to the finish line. I do have a piece of boo here from Mr yancey.

Post by: Roy from Pa on July 20, 2021, 09:51:32 AM

Thanks Eric, means a lot to me coming from you and your gizmo helps me get a bow tillered like that.

I use it on every bow I make.

Pat, nuff outta you:)

That's a beautiful piece of work. Is there a pic of the braced profile?

There is a lot of reluctance from some folk about using a gizmo, I never could understand why.

Makes no sense to me, it is a huge help in getting a smooth bend.

Thanks, Roy. Is that any harder to string than a flat bow of the same weight?


Mark

Title: Re: BBO Done
Post by: Roy from Pa on July 20, 2021, 03:39:30 PM

Nope, strings up real easy with a stringer.

Post by: Timmit on September 05, 2021, 07:41:59 PM

Roy, that is a nice bow.  The only thing is the shelf is on the wrong side, or I would be happy to shoot that bow.  I am glad to see you are back in the saddle.

  Their idiots...   :laughing: 

    I don't use one but I make glass bows and my bends are somewhat preset...  I do use a profile jig that somewhat works like the Gizmo though for checking my bend... 

   If I made board bows I would be all over that chit...   ;)  :)
