The 1st of the revised limbs is in the heat box.

Lucky I ordered extra glass and boo, I was going to make myself a new RD bow to use on closing week end.

RE: The Chrissy Present Build Along
 

Ok the first limb is out of the oven shaped string grooves cut.

The Shedura under glass.




Now the Ossage I was able to keep some of the dark lines the Ossage had in it sorta gives some charracter to the limb.

First limb finally mounted onto the riser.

Not a very good pic but here she is strung up for the first time.

RE: The Chrissy Present Build Along
 

Lookin good!

RE: The Chrissy Present Build Along
 

Your making me cry. Wasting perfectly good osage by putting it under glass. That should be illegal.:D

RE: The Chrissy Present Build Along
 

Who asked for your opinion anyway:D:D:D

Mate.

I had those 2 strips here and they would not be any good for anything else, 36" x 1 1/2" x 1/8" just purrrrrrrfect for lams;)

Guess I could have made tomato stakes out of them:)

RE: The Chrissy Present Build Along
 

They would have made a great core for a trilam. I love a ipe, osage, bamboo trilam.

Actually, I just have to pull your chain every now and then as well.:D

RE: The Chrissy Present Build Along
 

Don't sweat it Russ,if the post I brought him aren't any good he will be making lams outa them.He might sell them to you...cheap! Then agin Burnie may salvage them just so they don't become fence post or firewood!:D

RE: The Chrissy Present Build Along
 

What you smokeing Willis?:D Any piece of osage over 34" will be put in a tri lam organic bow. Osage makes such a great core wood under bamboo, with a belly of some good solid wood like hickory or ipe. Ill save the perty woods, that cant be used for organic bows, to put under glass.;)
