Alright Tim was a busy man today...he snapped 45 pics!!  I'll try and use a little restraint so you won't get all 45 pics.

Tim starts off with a nice clean table



Get all the limb components and glue ready!


Start applying glue to the lams



Stack em up with just the right amount of glue!


Know get them ready to go in the limb press


Lay the lams in the press and tape it up good and straight





Now lay the fire hose on top


More coming!!!

[Tatersalad]

Add the top of the limb press



Add some pressure!


And into the oven!!!


Now for the riser!











more to come!

[Tatersalad]

all right now lets finish up laying up the riser!





Now for some clamps...lots of clamps!




And more clamps!!



And finally into the oven with the limbs!!!


Who said that making a bow wasn't much work...hell I'm tired just looking at the pictures!

Thanks again Tim!

Should have more photos coming after she comes out of the oven.

Glad your enjoying it.  This thread should give everyone a little appreciation for the bowyer craft/art.  

Thanks

Awsome. I ordered a "treestick" from Tim in the summer. He said it was going to be ready by the end of this month. He does great work, cant wait to get my bow.

I love these threads. Nothing better than to watch a bow in the making.

[Littlefeather]

Good job guys! Its always interesting to see the different techniques that each bowyers uses to produce their art. I've never owned a bow from Tim but I've had my eye on a 3 piece tree stick for awhile. Maybe sooner than later!   :D   CK

My wife DeeDee says for me to tell you folk`s that she`s the one that keeps my shop clean and your kind words are appreciated. !!!!!!!!

OK Tim out did him self today...even with family in from out of town...he made a lot of progress on my bow and managed to snapped 90 pics!!!  

Last posting the bow was going into the oven for a little beauty sleep.  Well she's out the oven and already showing her curves!  She went from bow parts to a rough tillered bow today.

Enjoy the pics

A question for you Tim. What brand of drilling jig is that one you are using?
