twisted selfish pleasure/ new pic for badly bent
« on: December 16, 2013, 07:09:48 pm »
taking blackhawks advice I got a little selfish and built me a bow, this journey started a few years back when my good bud Pearlie sent me the belly splits from his twisted sisters bow, guess he was tired of me posting boards and wanted to give me a challenge, after him threatning to come take them back the last few years I figured I better build'em, 70" ttt osage and 55# @ 29"

that bottom limb gave me fits because above that knot there was really NO wood I could remove, it had some prop twist I had to take out but I left everything else au natural, I wanted to do a t/d for ease on my part there just wasn't much wood to do a splice, I got the sleeves from Carson @ echo archery thank's carson, the reason for the silk wraps is that above that knot there was an area that I had to make a small rawhide patch and I wanted to cover it up, and there were large voids in the fades on the same limb, on the fades I mixed some yellow sawdust in some epoxy then sanded it down after it set, plus the wraps look good, it's a shooting sob that has a knack for hitting the ten ring, the length helps there, and has just a little bump on release. Thank's Chris for challenging me and the other Chris for making me get a little selfish, Bub

I'm liking that one bub, real nice bow. That take down feature will come in handy to transport when your riding that little red tricycle......,  I'd think a guy with a 29" draw would be to big to ride one of those. 
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.
