Title: new bow done
Post by: eman614 on September 13, 2009, 10:41:00 AM

after i built a clear glass bow for my uncle. i decided that i needed one for myself, and this is what i came out with. the riser is zebra and wenge, and the limbs are amber action cores with zebra veneers. it is 62" tip to tip, and feels like it pulls in the mid 50's here are some pics.

thanks guys. kenny i had the wood for a little longer than two days. i already had the riser made, so all i had to do was glue it all together. here is a pic of the riser (http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/ss60/eman614/bowpictures135.jpg) the zebra was exactly what i was looking for. the light spots were a different color than the first set you sent. which i wasn't crazy about, but after i put it all together i liked it lot.
thanks again, eric
