Sidmand, my suggestion to name the bow your sending  "Trubadour"

I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.

Fred:
Tried that and got a little of it out and that's where I am now. That kink is only on one side of the limb the other side is straight and I'm a little afraid of  forcing the wood and get stress fractures or something. Maybe I'm thinking about it wrong but by flattening the kink that side  is gonna be longer then the other side and that could maybe compress the kink side and stretch the  other and could that lead to problems? I don't know, I don't have much experience but my gut says no.

Well then I'd work the kink just like I'd work a handle and fades, save it til last but always keep it in consideration while you're looking at the tiller. A "little at a time" so that it never develops into a problem.

Piking is shortening the bow from either end.  That will in turn up the draw weight.

A proper heat temper should up your weight by at least 10#. I would leave the length alone until you see what tempering gives you. Looks like your top limb is still heavier and the bow looks tipped forward in your hand, but that's just a pic, I cant feel it from here :)

Sanderson, it looks to me like that kink on the left is also hinging. Have a look at how it moves when you pull on it. Maybe someone else sees it differently

I think that "hump" in the left limb is making it look more like a hinge than it really is...but is stiff outside that spot.  The right looks a little stiff mid limb out too.

Here's an updated list on who I need to see progress reports and full draw pictures from before they will receive a bow:

jandersson,  Otter,  Ryan C,  Stuckinthemud,  Tower.


Here's the list of who may ship anytime:

ajooter,   DuBois, Dylan,  Sidmand,  


Here's the list of bows that are finished but with a hold on shipping until their recipients are ready:

Dakota Kid,  hammertime,   pincushion,  tattoo dave

Let me know if you have any questions.


List of bows already received by recipient:

Dakota Kid,  Drewster,  DuBois,  Gutshot,  halfeye,  Mo_coon-catcher,  Sidmand,  StixnStones  Swampman,  Turtle

We are working hand in hand with a few individuals and have extended the deadline in order to give them some more time to complete their project.

Turtle, I'm sure there will be nothing poor about your recipient's enjoyment when that one arrives!
