Well really, it should be "Kneel before Zod" but that totally misses the "bow" pun, doesn't it? I have started working on bows. I know, it's been a long time since I posted that I was going to. I got the wood, traced the pattern onto it and then let it sit for weeks. Then I started cutting out the shapes with the bandsaw and really messed it up hard. So I got a second piece of wood, traced the shapes onto it, tightened the bandsaw blade and cut it out, this time meeting with marginal success. I smoothed everything down with a rasp and thumb plane (my little green work pony) and got it more or less how I wanted it. I glued the riser to the bow, so now I just need to mark that out and cut to the lines. You'll notice no pictures. Partly, this is because I figured I'd be messing up a lot and wanted to get pictures of a bow that I could be proud of. Good thing, too.
So anyhow, it seems to be going well so far. I'll let you all know what I think about it as I get farther along.
