Today was my day off, so I went to work anyway (if you own your own business you know this story), to help a contractor re-lamp the work room. Move tools, benches and fixtures, raise a 16' folding ladder, and proceed to pull lamps and ballasts. As time allowed I worked on a new red oak bow. It is 66" oberall, just over 1 1/2" wide at he widest parts, narrowing to about 1/2" at the nocks. It is pulling 40# at 24" now, and the tiller looks "OK". I want it to pull a good 27" when complete. Nope, no pics yet but I'll try to snap a couple tomorrow.
I may add a fabric backing for looks and some safety potential.
As usual, this one is to give away. I have yet to make one for myself, just to shoot and enjoy.
Back in the saddle again. It has been over a month since I sawed out a bow. Feels good to get back to it.
