Title: R/D BBO #3
Post by: tom sawyer on December 10, 2007, 11:51:04 pm

The last one on my list, got the handle wrap and string done just now.  This one is 52lb@28", 66" n/n, same woods as #2.  I see from the pic that the outer half of the bottom limb looks a little flat, I think it'll be OK though.  This one is for a guy who teaches archery safety, I think it'll be mostly for display.  His grandson already has one of my backed bows from last year, I hear he shoots it all the time.  That makes me really happy.

The last pic is all three BBOs side by side.  It'll be the last time they are together, tomorrow they are going to the far corners of Hannibal MO.

I definitely go in spurts, only working when the urge strikes.  Plus there's been duck season, I'm training a Lab so I felt the need to get her out as much as possible.  I have a new student coming tonight who wants to learn how to make bows.  That ought to give me a reason to stay in the shop.

Auggie, I still have close to ten gallons of homebrew, but I'm going to make another dark beer very soon.  That stuff tastes good even during cold weather.

You're always welcome you guys, seriously. Come up, work on bows, spend the night if you want.  My rule is, as long as at least one person works on a bow then no matter how much beer gets drank its a bowyers event.

Justin, its easy just vote for somebody else's bow.  Thats what I'll be doing.
