Had a go at some tophats to see how they perform. I can see the advantage in swapping the same weight field points as broadheads and having only one set of shafts. We will see with time. 11/32 Douglas Firs Crested white, white nocks Cock feather yellow shortened 4 1/2 inch bananas Tophats with 125gr...

Has come out nice Rod, had better make another trip up and fire the forge up need a throwing axe blade heated and treated, great leather work as well mate.

Cheers Wayno

Looks like a comfortable shape handle on the blade Perry. not much I can say about the leather work as it is always outstanding. I have a similar length knife I use for knocking out pig jaws but it is strapped to my day pack as you said they are to heavy to carry on the hip. Good to see you back int...

Congratulations Carl, another milestone for the 59 and yourself, all the best for the new year.

Rob just cant imagine the work that goes into them tip overlays mate.

When where all dust to the wind or sand to the ground,
your bows will still be hanging on the cabin wall.

Great work my friend.
Cheers Wayno

Great set Andy he should be looking forward to receiving them for shore, great work.

Cheers Wayno

Dave and Daryl thanks for the advice, will give the areas indicated towards the handle a bit more attention and see if it changes anything, what have I got to loose hey. Has been a great learning curve for shore. Just have to wait for work to slow down before trying another one. Thanks again. Cheers...

Thanks for the help fellas is much appreciated. Well a little progress to date. Put a thin piece of Osage on the belly cosmetics really is only about 2mm thick. Made a string and braced her at 6 inches. There was major tillering in one limb but have got as close as possible to even as I can. Althoug...

Happy birthday mate.

Good to see you posting Guy, great game to ground and many memories to store. Congratulations on using the wood.

Cheers Wayno

bstan I usually just file the ends with a file so they are blunt to start with, stops them sticking into logs and stumps as well.

Ian there maybe a reason why they don't have gateway feathers?

Cheers Wayno

Update of where I am. Have cut and rasped the blank to shape. It has about 1/2 inch reflex in it to counter the string follow I hope. Alright the guts. The bamboo backing is not very even through the blank, I tried to start at about 8mm in the middle and half way along the limb 6mm and the tip about...

Had a look at this thread as have wanted to give the same bow a go. Am going to have a crack at one and just plain see how it turns out. Have no idea what I am doing have cut some boo for backing some spotted gum for the belly and left plenty on everything with the principle I can always take it off...

Nothing wrong with stump shooting and roving grew up doing it and still do it nearly every time I go bush. Just plain old field points for me.

Cheers Wayno

Bstan a double mate, did think about a single just for the reason you explained, but probably wont do to much stick sharpening or flat work with it.

Cheers Wayno

Stu I think they where around 530grn without the points.

Was cleaning up the shed the other day and found an broken in half hydraulic hacksaw blade, what on earth did I keep that for I wondered. So through it in the bin. Then that night it dawned on me and had me up in the morning digging through the bin to find it. Have always wanted to make a small wood...

Thinking of you mate, all the best.

Cheers Wayno

I started off at having a go at building a throwing axe but got a little carried away and the handle is to nice to use as an thrower now. So will leave it hanging around the camp to chop up small kindle for the fire. Still have a little polishing work to go on the head section. The blade was an old ...
