Roy, all of your bows have really nice lines, I love those curves.  Someday I'm going to have to try gluing one up like that.  Thanks for sharing :)

Thanks, check this one out, it's a tri lam of boo, red cedar, and osage. Just cut the facets in last night after these videos were shot. Riser is East Indian Rosewood.

That's going to be a beauty. 

I checked out some of your other videos too.  I like the jig that you use for your glue ups.  How do you adjust the stand-offs for different profiles? I can't tell how they are attached to the main beam.

That shop of yours looks like it was pretty much built for one purpose :)

The stand off's just sit on the form, I have 1 inch steel angle bolted to the sides and that gives a 1/8 lip on top which the stand offs sit down inside. I can slide the mid limb posts I call them, either way. The closer to the riser the more deflex, the more towards the tips the less deflex and more reflex. I normally just place them at mid limb or an inch or two either way from mid limb. I use three big clamps, one at the center post and one at each mid limb posts, those clamps clamp to the bottom side of the form. Yes I wanted to build a bow shop so I did:) I used to do all my bow work in the basement and that put Osage dust all through the house, but my wife  never complained..:)

You want to see a funny video look at Frog Dog, it's over 4 minutes long but he catches a frog in the pond. On the second page there.

Yes it is great. Here is the bow he made me. Super looking and shooting bow with an awesome tiller. Pearly knows how to tiller bows very well.
