Title: First Two Piece Bow -- Thank you Big Jim
Post by: wcdurand on June 03, 2015, 08:44:00 AM
Tried my hand at a takedown. Followed Big Jim's video instruction. I learned a heck of a lot and the instructions of Big Jim is so good I got it the first time. Still some finishing to be done but it worked spot on!!! Must say cutting it in two is somewhat of a nervous experience!   :biglaugh:

Good work on that one! The wood combo looks good and I really like that limb profile!

So... Does this mean that Big Jim was a midwife to you birthing a cousin to his Thunderchild?

Well, however it all came about, that's a good looking bow!

That's a great job,and very good looking bow. I like watching the videos,but there's no way I could make a bow.
