I know about the band saw blades they do get expensive specially when you use 2 blades per bow[:@]

I still do the rough cut out of the limbs with the band saw then it's over to the belt sander to finish them off.

I have been making bows on and off for a long time but about 12 months ago I decided to get off the compound wagon and go back to trad, I really could not find a bow I liked so I decided to make my own. Then a couple of friends wanted me to make them one and the local bow shop wanted me to put a couple of display bows there and it sorta snow balled from there.

Ok I have been out shaping the the riser it's coming together very nicely









Still a lot more sanding to do.

I really need a heat source out in the shop it's bloody cold out there

Anyone want to donate me a gas heater?
