Bows / Re: Strongly reflexed bow turning inside out!

I hear ya, that's why I hardly every scrape with string on or braced, maybe a little toward the end of the process but not during the main tillering.

Those bear steaks do look delicious. The skulls turned out great. I don’t have a Bob cat skull yet. None around here yet. A few years ago a single one passed through and raided the neighbors geese pen. The DNR relocated it a little further north.

Hope the shoulder surgery goes well Pappy.

Sleek it seems like you have a few bows already.

I would like to donate a flint knife. Would you like it for this drawing, or would you prefer to start some prizes for next year?

PS there’s at least one of those poster covers that I like Pat . My article about my second selfbow buck is in the one. “All in a Days Work”

Oh I did that once. Scare the bah gee bees out of me. Barely touched the string but it broke so fast it totally took me by surprise.

It’s a thumper right now Del. I don’t know if it will hold up or take a lot of set. That’s probably the big question. I think it is pretty stressed, but so far it is holding up okay.

Thanks Pat it really does.

Almost forgot how good it feels to bring a piece of wood back to life again.

Nice bow, Brian. Bet it feels good getting back to making shavings.

Put a braced curve in the bow with heat. That way it should keep that shape because it is not being strained.

The rifle has some beautiful wood in it.
