Sneak Peek At My Next Project
« on: May 24, 2008, 01:47:49 pm »
Well while the Sinew is drying on my Cupids Bow I started a Month ago....I started on a New Project.... Project Hupa......it's 60" instead of 56" for my Draw Length.... so far it is 2 1/2" wide at the widest part.....Mid Limb.......1 1/4" wide and 1 1/4" thick at the Handle......The Limbs are Lenticular in Shape....all the way to the 3/8" Pin Nocks ....that I plan on Bending and Sinew Wrapping like My Pony Bow was done....so far I have it Floor Tillered to about 6-7 inches of Bend....but I believe that I have a ways to go....it feels like about 90 pounds right now....and that is way Crazy....Manny you would be proud of Me on this one....Rasp....Scraper....and a bunch of Sand Paper.....I don't know if I can ever get it to flow like Manny's Bows do....but I am going to take it slow and easy...and let the Wood do the talking

Well I damned near had a Major Catastrophe tonight....I was Tillering the Bow on the Long String....working it between scraping....and I heard a Click....and then the String started to give....I let it down really fast....and just in time too....the Tiller String core broke and it damned near had a Come Apart on me!!! I quit for the Night....I think that this is the Safe thing to do!!!

so you cut temporary nocks in for the long string, i guess?   I do that too, but i'm thinking about making a long string with a couple leather bags on the ends...make a few of different lengths to accomondate various bow sizes...glad you didn't get popped or have your bow fly apart on you, man.
