Just moving this up the stack, people are having trouble finding it buried so deep.

Hi Scott, how's it going? What, not enough dear in the Brisbane valley for you mate? I know there are a lot of dear in the high-lands around Queenstown, but that time of year you would be neck deep in snow, maybe somewhere further north and at a lower altitude would be better. I don't have any conta...

Great effort Darren, mate, it looks like you've done it before. Well done.

Rob.

Hey Stuart, the last couple of times I've ordered glass from Binghams I have had a bit of a whinge about an earlier order and added a comment that I require faultless glass because I make a premium product and I wont accept crap glass. It's all been good since then and haven't had to pay any extra. ...

I've only ever used U/L glass, never had any problems with it.

Rob.

Thanks fella's,

No that's Fossie all the way Wayno, I couldn't do that mate.

Thanks Bob, the overlays are just spare parts I had laying around the shed.

Flatline MC2, 62" N-N 51 # @ 28" This bow is one of the first MC2 I made and I have recently re-vamped it. Timbers: riser; Brown Tulip Oak with Cooktown Ironwood,QLD Walnut and Bamboo accents. Limbs; Blush Tulip Oak. Limb bolt overlays; False Sandalwood, Concerberry and Beefwood String gro...

Don't know for sure but my guess would be around 8.5-9 inches.

Rob.

Nice work Bob, very symmetrical overlay you got there, that can be hard to do so well done. Ah,, what is future wood?

Rob.

Nice work Joe, got a bit carried away with the paint job mate, looks great. How does it shoot?

Rob.

I've seen this timber in person. IMHO it's not any of the above, it is more yellow than it looks in the photos, not red enough for Cooktown ironwood, crows ash I'm not sure of but crows foot ash is another name for tulip oak and it's definitely not that, I think it could be yellow walnut.

Rob.

Hi Toby, That is a very common place for a riser to crack, it does seem to happen when there is a dramatic drop in humidity along with a rise in temperature, I think that, combined with a little stress from drawing the bow can be the straw that does the damage. But here is how to fix it. You will ne...

Thanks guys.

Bob, Mate! they just keep getting better. You really are getting a win with that finish. Makes it hard to put a satin coat over it for the hunters sometimes hey.

Thanks very much fella's.

I don't know Wayno, that last one you made was an absolute pearler.
And I'm feeling more and more mortal every day mate.

I really like this one. Was tempted to keep it. Stats: 3 piece T/D Raptor. 50#@28". Timbers; Gutta Purcha and Black Gidgee with a Black Palm band and Black Palm limb veneers. Going to a lucky man in Bellingen NSW. SDC14633.JPG SDC14637.JPG SDC14644.JPG SDC14649.JPG SDC14651.JPG SDC14657.JPG SDC...

Great stuff Bob, beautiful combo. I know what you mean about the rain, I reckon I could get a job as a drought breaker, all I'd have to do is take an almost finished bow to where ever they need the rain and I'm sure it would follow .

I could fix it for you Wayne but unless you live just down the road the postage will cost you an arm and a leg, being a one piece.

Rob.

Highly impressed Wayno, that's some excellent work there mate. Great contrast with your timbers, looks like it wants to go hunting .

Now that you've done a couple it will get easier to judge your core thickness. I reckon you'll nail your next one.

Rob.

Huh! speak for your self Rod,, like I said I'm in denial .

What we do Bob is get older,But in denial

Rob.

AARGH! I don't believe I'm selling it. FLATLINE MC2 3 piece TD; 53#@28" 62"n-n Timbers; Conkerberry, False Sandalwood and beefwood. Stats; 195 FPS 9 gr/pound of draw weight arrow. Best suited to those with a very long draw length, 30+ inches This is my own bow, and a very special bow, I do...

Exceptional work Muz. Making pretty bows is a great lesson in delayed gratification, and there must have been a serious delay in that one. Well done .

Beautiful work Daryl.

That's really nice work there man, just love the curves.

Rob.

Going great guns Rod. That's quite a twist you've got going on there. I would be getting as much adjustment out of the nock tip as possible, it's surprising how narrow you can make them, just have a look at any Nick Lintern long bow and you will see what I mean, I've seen some that are flat out bein...

Wow Woodie, Ya gona have some fun laying that one up. But I'm sure you're up to the task.

Might pay to add another couple of clamps/braces on the ends of your form, with curves like that there'll be some serious pressure to straighten that hose and bend/break your form.

Rob.

You lucky sh*t. Well done Anita.
