All those arrows were shot out of my bow.

At one time or another..

Made a trip to a new wood store today and racked up on some new material for veneers.

That spalted Cherry is outstanding!!!

Put the top on my new shop today. Wire it up, insulate, and start builing some more bows! I can hardly wait.

[Roy from Pa]

Tonight there are 4 grandkids spending the night at our house, we are baby sitting, so much for peace and quiet:) The oldest Joey at 9 years of age shot a bow tonight, it's a bit heavy for him and I need to make a few more kids bows:) The twin boys are 6 and our little princess Elise is 4. And we had fun..

 

 

 

And since it's Easter, we had to color eggs:)

[Trapper Rob]

Roy looks like a good time.

[bamboo]

roy--
way easier to build a bow than get a decent photo of it- for me!!LOL---but here you go

its got an ash core and elm riser with some kind of exotic "I"beam??--66"59#@28" I got the cherry from tony rider--a TGer [and good guy!!]

[Roy from Pa]

That is sharp, Mike.

[bamboo]

thanks boys---its a real ripper too! i'll get a grip on it and try to get a braced picture in a few days
and troy I want some of that locust for a 2-pc i'm planning!!

No bow building here but, I have been shopping around for a hard to find (in my area) mud boat for carp shooting in our local creeks & rivers.

Dreaming of bow hunting this fall via boat transport.

[joe skipp]

That is one gorgeous bow Bamboo....aka...hunting buddy and fellow Tri State Terror...   :cool:

I will personally tell you I have shot a few of Mike's earlier designed bows...smooth, fast and no hand shock. He's worked hard at improving and tweaking and trust me...the end result is a real fine bow, non R/D that will compete with the radical R/D bows.

I never seen the cherry wood like this before and have to admit....it's pretty cool....  

[stringstretcher]

Roy, that does it.  I am sending these pictures, your address and any other info I have to your local state labor board.  Child labor I tell you, Child labor, even if nothing more than creating a chicken salad assembly line.  You take the cake.          

[Roy from Pa]

Oh my god, 2 more grandkids came today so we had 6 running around:) They all just left, And You Can Hear A Pin Drop in our house. LOL

Charlie ole boy, bring it on:)

[stringstretcher]

LOL......did you get enough chicken salad sandwiches made for your lunches this week???

[Roy from Pa]

Pictures of one of the twins first time shooting a bow, 6 years old.



And his group.



And me and the little Princess snuggled on a chair together. Pictures are from a cell phone so the quality is not that well.

[rockkiller]

Roy...that is what it is all about.  

[Trapper Rob]

Looks like the grandkids played you out Roy.

[Roy from Pa]

Robbie it's nice to see them visit, but when they pull out of the driveway, Wife and I just collapse from exhaustion. LOL:)

[kennym]

Thats why you have all the excess energy when yer a pup. When ya get old, yer body couldn't handle it!!

I started on a 48" D/R bow form for the St Jude auction bow, got it routed out of an old form, gonna try somethin new(to me) on this one for pressing!
