Building a bow has been the most rewarding, peaceful, and frustrating things I have ever made with my own two hands!

The 100#er is coming along nicely. I have one limb bending and the back cleaned up as well. It has a long bend sideways i will be treating with heat soon.

The red oak molly recurve is almost ready for brace. I also just debarked a piece of what i call candy ( perfect stave no flaws ) with no clear intentions as of yet. I have also begun design of a cross bow. Not sure where that project is going yet....

Ok, I did some looking and thinking and my plan A right now is sassafras but I'll be working on a piece of osage as a plan B. Going for simple flatbow style with a bit of reflex and stiff handle with shelf. On the sassafras, I'm planning to go 2" wide or a little more with a slightly rounded belly to take some load off the back but I still think it will qualify as an american flatbow.  I'm gonna chase rings and reduce to rough dimensions tomorrow, and then I'll bring them inside to stabilize for a couple of weeks.

Here's a picture of both staves,


and one of the ends.

Well, I have shot an 85# ELB at Mojam a couple times but that was a few years back. Lately, the old shoulder has been reminding me of some various accidents from my past.  :(
At least I can still drink whiskey...  ;)

I'm familiar with both good bourbons and war stories.  Oddly enough, both seem to make frequent appearances in one another's company!!!
