We had a great weekend, stayed very busy and got a ton of stuff marked off my list, I think we are about ready, a few loose end left to take care of but the main stuff about finished, hope so because expecting people to start rolling in about Friday and over the weekend. 
Early part of the week had some friends of Will's come in and make their first Bow, BigA and Will walked them through it and both came out with nice shooting bows. Nice guys, some kind of country music singers.

Bows / Re: All Bamboo Hill Style
« Last post by willie on April 19, 2026, 04:12:51 pm »This is my take at the fancy all bamboo Hill-Style bow.
Not yet sure what to think about the all bamboo thing. Somehow feels and shoots like a very soft yew.
Got massivly underweight also - thought 16.5mm would easy make that ordered 60# bow - I was wrong and only got 40#.
Will start over with 19mm and do more intense heat treating.
cheers
nice work as always, simk
what part of the culm is on the belly side of the belly lam?
for all who might be interested in bamboo:
