Title: MO woods bow
Post by: kennym on March 15, 2009, 08:33:00 PM

Finished another bow with all MO woods(cept 2 slivers of padauk in the riser accents),guess you could call it a green bow? Nah,that would be politically correct!!

64" d/r,48# @ 28",walnut riser with maple/padauk accents,curly hickory lams on back,red cedar lams on belly,figured walnut overlay on back and tips,osage on grip caps. This one is for my old elk huntin bud,Tim...

Wow! Great job on another bow Kenny- looks like you have that one down- no wiggles I'm guessing.

Thanks guys!

David,got the wiggles under control!!

Marty,still got the cedar,I think I'll put it back on my site with a note to use at own risk on radical limb bows(or somethin!)


Steve, this is off my plywood form,but we glued one up on Kerry's MDF form last weekend with no probs,he should have it ready to look over in a few days!
