Universal Bowyers Rasp.(UBR 10)

[TImo]

<FONT size=5><P><FONT size=1>Dean Torges book, "Hunting the Osage bow" brought with it many ways and means about building oneself a good quality-hunting bow. Along with it came a plethora of different tool types that few of us ever thought to use. Specifically the #49 &amp; #50 pattern makers rasp. Now they are commonplace in most bowyers toolboxes. Well hold onto your britches because Dean is still earning his keep. I have in my possession one of Deans newly designed rasp, called the UBR 10 (universal bowyer rasp). The latest brainchild of his. I must say that it will take the place of all the "others" out there.</FONT></P><P><FONT size=1>I’ll wait until he comes along with a more precise description, as I could never do that justice. His computer had a major meltdown and he has lost everything off his hard drive. He is in the process of getting back on line and will soon be taking orders from his Bowyers edge website. Believe me folks, you will want one of these.</FONT></P><P><FONT size=1>I guess my best description would be as I told it to Dean….." It reminds me of yourself, very course and aggressive on one side, but gentle and persuasive on the other."</FONT></P><P><FONT size=1>It’s a 10" flat rasp that will let you hog wood off with the course side, then a quick flip and the fine cut side will let you smooth the wood like a kids tongue on a ice cream cone. The last rasp you will ever buy perhaps?</FONT></P></FONT><P style="MARGIN: 0px; __styleDocument: [object]"><FONT size=1>Also notice the nose cap? Very nice on the hands. That Dean has got a head on him like a cutworm.</FONT></P><P style="MARGIN: 0px; __styleDocument: [object]"><FONT size=1></FONT>&nbsp;</P><P style="MARGIN: 0px; __styleDocument: [object]"><FONT size=1></FONT>&nbsp;</P><P style="MARGIN: 0px; __styleDocument: [object]"><A href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v86/Timotoad/general/rasp1.jpg" target=_blank>http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v86/Timotoad/general/rasp1.jpg</A></P><P style="MARGIN: 0px; __styleDocument: [object]">&nbsp;</P><P style="MARGIN: 0px; __styleDocument: [object]"><A href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v86/Timotoad/general/rasp2.jpg" target=_blank>http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v86/Timotoad/general/rasp2.jpg</A></P>

<P>Just ordered mine today. If it works half as well as Dean and now Timo claim it will be worth twice the price.</P>

Things a bit chaotic here at the moment. Computer did a major meltdown and took much of my stuff with it. Can get back online, but cannot configure my email accounts correctly. Need some help from Shawn, but he's been unavailable all week. Meantime, have a major house remodel well underway and on the eve of ABC testing.

So, thanks Tim for helping me out with the rasp, bringing it to attention. Felt bad myself announcing its debut and then going silent on the matter, unable to get the program going with a full catalogue description, etc. Just to let you know that I hope that stuff is forthcoming, soon.

And Dennis, you are the first person to order the new UBR10. I did send a few out for test runs to bowyers to get their input on it before committing myself to this final iteration. The response has been exceedingly positive. I think y'all will like this rasp. It is indeed universal, the only one you require between the drawknife and the scraping tools, such as the Bowyer's Edge. It is completely hand cut by one person. Will do a fine job on everything but the nocks. More details later.

So gimme a little while longer to get the cat. desc. up and some other information I have, and soon I'll be back online in a regular capacity.

<P>Mike, I&nbsp;did get to&nbsp;handle an earlier prototype, but this model looks like the cat's meow. Threre will be a lot of lonely old rasps around, with this baby.</P>

Don't gimme that. I offered you one, and hyped it up, too, but you said you were rasp poor. As for Dano, well, he's retired now and can wait.

<P>You got that right Deano, my patience has improved considerably, course I don't have my shop built yet.<IMG src="http://www.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/frown.gif" align=absMiddle border=0></P>

<P>I can not believe Dean did not offer a rasp to his best Bud in Pa, Roy</P>
