Well, it was up over 30° in my shop this evening, so I decided to take advantage of the "warm" weather and get some work in. So I grabbed my trusty sidekick, and got to it.







LOL, he was not really frightened as he looks in the picture. He is my trusty board catcher.

Finished tillering mine today, I'm not 100% happy with it but I'm still gonna fiddle with it quite a bit, it's 52" ntn and came out at about 60#@27" , I need to whittle down the tips some more and hopefully get rid of a little bit of hand shock, but overall it's quiet and a pretty dang good shooter.

Yep, it looks like the left mid/outer needs a few scrapes. The shorter string will help show the bend better, but it looks like you're getting close and she's going to turn out gorgeous!

Might as well make them short, save some wood to keep warm.

I dont want to show too much right now, but here is plan B, the stave I started with had a slight natural reflex in one limb and a very even naturally deflexed handle area. I matched the un flexed limb and took out some o the deflex in hooes of letting some come back as I shoot it in. BL 61 1/2", 1/4" cherry on wenge tips. I am planing to slightly recurve the ends as they start to taper to the tips. more pics as I finish another project I have been battling for a while now.

Good looking bows.  I got a new nephew in Boise on St. Patty's day (Porter James) another little red headed leprechaun  :), just like mine.  I will get back to work tonight.  Almost done tillering.  I'll post some pics soon to get y'all's advise on weather I should send it out :-\

Thanks man.  He is too darn cute.  It's going hard to be 175 Mike away from that little guy.  Just one more excuse to go to the city.  It is my home town and all.

outer on the right limb and mid to outer on the left limb are stiff. dont touch the inner limbs anymore untill you get those stiff spots moving more.
