Good job Colin!!!

Nice work my friend.

What I want to know is............ when are you gonna buy some shoes mate?

ok you have my attention.....thats lovely. might have to hit you up for some of that Red ash Col.................. how long has it been seasonong for now?

i'm watching as I have an unfinished bow on the rack with a similiar problem.............

Hi Guy's, This is what I have found making these tri lams. First of all, the wenge core. I used the wenge because when i started to make bows I read somewhere that a fibreous hardwood is suitable for core wood and when I was at the timber yard the fella had a plank of damaged wenge going cheap and i...

Thanks Guys,
I am glad to report Lester was a very happy chap, and was more than happy with the bow.
All is good in the world.

Your arrow looks better than mine Col.....

all the best mate......talk soon....

Another perspective, As a budding bowyer, I have been on a journey over the past 3 or so years. As I have developed my skills, I have started to think on the history in the bows I make, and through that my own ancestry. I started making flat bows for hunting and target archery which led me on to ELB...

Had a ball Barb!....... Cant wait till next year!

Good thinking Rob, Well done !

The speed round......

Here is a couple Mick, I was having such a good time, I forgot to take some................

Hi James, I have an 80lb Hickory backed Ash and a 75lb Tri Lam in "stock" if your interested. Not Yew!!!! Well below $1200. As warbows go anyway! You can PM me if you like. Hunterguy1991 (Colin) might be able to help you with something heavier. I will be making some more Heavy Yew Bows in ...

So, Market timber have no Hickory.?
Thats where I was going to get mine from.............Hmmmmmm.
I only have a little bit left, this is not good at all.!!!!!!!!!
Melbourne furniture timbers have closed down as well..............what to do?

Col, you can fix that tiller, but you are going to lose weight. First third to mid limb needs work I reckon, more on the left limb than right. You could shorten it to bring the weight up again.. Next time, have a try at floor tillering each limb to where you want it, and once your happy with how the...

Great work mate!! That bow is gorgeous!! Have you got any arrows there to get back to 30? or just shooting in at a normal draw to keep it safe on the splice in the handle? There's just something about that crowned back ay, no idea what it is but it just works. I think Im going to have to bite the b...

the rest...

Here is the second bow. 77" NtN, 30mm x 30mm Handle. Mary Rose lay out. Semi crowned back, bow would not move till I crowned the back. Much stiffer than my first stave, which is weird as there are more growth rings per inch on the 40 lb er. :roll: Red Deer Nocks in White. Followed the contours ...

OK,
Here is the result of the patch, in the words of one of my mates, its "frankenbow".............
Tillering tomorrow.

OOOhh thats very nice........... why do people do this to me......

And back to the first stave........... We have my first successful Yew self bow!............... all be it with a spliced handle! I have left this bow a little stiff in the handle, with good reason and tillered accordingly. It looks a little Victorian I think! The bow is 74" NtN and has come in ...

Ok, little bit done today......... patch piece glued in, cut of same billet.
