:mrgreen: Ever since I saw your work on that bow riser with your new toy I have been in deep lust wanting one. Or at least a cheaper but similar one. This is the cheapest one I could find, now I got to figure a way to come up with a 100 bucks! See what you done. :lol:

Well Kirk, you may be onto something, I may have to sell a bow! I will be going to the Ky Tradfest soon, I'll probably carry a few extra bows along! I may be able to build another bow per year with one of those things. And yes; I'm failing the temptation test! I'm remembering that last build with a hacksaw, files, and sandpaper!

Better yet!
Wonder how that would work on shaping a self-bow? (*wheels in head spinning*)
