Title: My second Lam. Bow from a Thundrhawk Blank.
Post by: str8sh2ter on March 01, 2009, 05:15:00 PM

What do you all think.I shaped the riser,installed tips and finish the blank.
  Here's a shamless plug to Lindell Beene at  www.lakesidearchery.net (http://www.lakesidearchery.net)  for another great job gluing up this blank  (http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp164/Str8sh2ter/GUN%20PICS/Archery%20pics/100_1222_opt.jpg) and roughing it out for me.

Oops! 60" 53#+- @28'.I don't have a scale.56# before finishing. The Woods are Bacote,Paduak[accent]Monterillio,Paduak[accent] and Mesquite. The veneers are Bacote and Misquite.
 It's a Hybrid that leans more toward recurve than Longbow.Limbs are only 1 1/2" wide.Very lightweight bow ,just over 1#.
 *Onward to #3 bow for finishing up.I 'm taking this one from a blank with just the limbs shaped.It should be done in a week or two.

Her's a look at #3 so far,unfinished.Chechen and Striped Maple[from darker core wood]. The same style blank but I added wood on back and belly sides of the blank riser area.i then shaped riser.it's coming along good.
