Ozbow

Beautiful colour and pattern in those scales.

Thanks All.

Scuzz, get into it. There should be some good wood around your way

Evening All, My young fella has been at me to build him a bow - so i built 2. One for him, 3.5yrs, and one for my daughter, 2yrs. I realised the other day it's been almost 7yrs since i built one. 1.jpg The one for my daughter was just a little swampy paperbark branch i whittled down to 40", 3-4...

ironbark, spotted gum, some wattles, brigalow - many of our hardwoods.

Very nice. I like the contrast of the dark glass on wood.

Absolutely beautiful Daryl.

Thanks guys. Stuck in bed with gastro. Excellent birthday present

you can do a lot in post processing. i use Adobe Lightroom 4. it is good for being able to bring back "what was actually there" in sunsets.

have a look on youtube for some tutorials for it and you'll see what you can do with it.

Grahame,
what about 'F8 and be there'.

IMO stick to digital. it is much more flexible and vertually free compared to film. results are much more predictable and you can see what you will get there and then, make adjustment, and shoot again. What settings were you using? do you have a tripod? are you shooting with the sun just in the sky ...

nice shot! very clear.

you don't have to keep them covered like you do with potatoes to stop the sunlight getting too them and making them poisonous, but otherwise they grow similar.

Nice! you'll be sick of them in no time :biggrin: They certainly are easy to grow. We get a constant supply from ours. Steve, just buy a few of the smallest good condition whole sweet potatoes you can find (small ones so you get more for your $$) and put them in the ground whole (you can cut them in...

come on mate, you should be making your own bows. better send it to yourself!

looks good, and it's simple enough. are you going to share with us what you are ordering? or do we have to wait until you get it?

This is just what i need. thanks Clint.

done, and shared on Facebook.

see you up here!

happy to throw in a donation, or pay a small annual fee... or both to get you out of trouble.

surely $9.99 per year from all members would be a big help??? leave the site free for 'read only' to not scare potential new members off???

Nice Rod. i like the look of the wenge.

Stunning!

Recycled!

Jacko, did you make that knife hanging off your belt too?

Nice Bob, i've been meaning to make a selfy from palm for some time. i love the look of it.

what kind of wood is that Perry/Grahame?

is it green or seasoned?

yep, good talking point, but it certainly wrecks arrows.

thanks guys. i hope to see some more buildalongs up here soon then

SteveJ - your little cabinet scraper build along gave me the urge. thanks.

Glad you liked them Andy

They look good Daryl.

Pitty they will cost about $7 each at Weipa's Mitre11!
