Thank you kindly fellers!   Rich...I just like havin a nice even tiller.  The problem with board bows is that there's no character to hide my screw ups .  Dave..don't let the fact that i made this on the road throw ya.  Almost every bow I make is at least partially if not mostly made on the road.  I spend on average 300 days a year on the road.  What little time I have at home is spent with momma and the kids.  I only spend a couple hrs in my workshop when I'm home and that is usually when everyone is asleep.  So, if I wanna get anything made, I have to do it on the road.  Now, if i could just figure out how to mount my band saw to the bumper.... .  Lane...I don't reckon I could make a shooter out of a popsicle stick.  But I bet Rich could!  Of course he would probably shorten it up some.  I don't think he likes his hunting bows that long.    . Thanks again fellas!  Josh

Great job Doc. I too admire your ability to do all that on the road. Shows what can be done by a real craftsman where ever he is (and with minimal tools). I have trouble gettin mine completed and I'm right here with my shop all the time.

Lol! Just giving Rich a hard time. . That shiny trailer don't work to good for a mirror. There's not one flat spot on the whole thing.  The side of the sleeper works much better.  If its clean enough that is.

Thanks Muffin!

This almost makes me wanna go play with some crappy house trim wood  

Lol, was close to actually doing that last week

Thanks! I didn't expect to see this one back on the front page.  It shot pretty good on the practice range at the classic.  I didn't shoot well, but the bow did. LOL!   Josh
