I'm thinking my bow is going out tomorrow, if I can make it to the post office before they close at noon.

Hi everyone,
Here is my fallback bow, hazelnut 65" ntn, I think I've more or less finished roughing down and it is moving a few inches at target weight. Any thoughts on the shape before I start tillering properly?

Thanks guys, should come together quite quickly. Biggest concern is that the weight will be at the bottom end of my guys specs as, according to Del, my target weight will be at the upper limit for hazelnut, hence the bow being so wide.

Stuck, I don't know much about hazelnut, but aesthetically speaking, that one has a nice shape.

Looks like a couple more bows are shipping, so I'm keeping my eyes peeled... and hoping!

Thanks All, spent a few hours on the two bows today, they should both now go to brace but I am having fun trying to make a stringer as I can't step-through either of them!  Anyone made a stringer??

They are very easy. Just a length of 550 cord and a couple of pieces of leather.   I'll post some pics of mine as soon as I go out to the building.

Ok here is mine. I cut a long piece of 550 cord and a 4-5" piece of leather and punched a hole through both pieces of leather and fed the 550 through the holes  on each side and tied the ends off. Works pretty good. You find how to's online. That's what did anyway. There may be a better way of doing it put I like it.
