Something I just got finished up with. I put it on the back burner till I got some other things done. So I thought I'd post some pics of it. The bow is 62" it has a shorter riser than my other 62" bows. This one is 18" and has a hidden I beam in it. I had to make several new jigs and limb forms. After lots of thought this is where I ended up. (http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k592/jet26photos/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG956362.jpg)

The woods are claro walnut and shedua. Limbs are spliced with walnut and quarter sawn sycamore. Its 54# @ 28".

Love the hooks on this one- how's it shoot? They are interesting to build.

Overall it seems to really like my 340 carbons. I had to go a little lighter on the point to get it paper tuned over another bow I have with the same specs. That leaves me to believe it might be a little quicker.Deafently something to play with this fall.
-
Beautiful bow...love that riser. That is nice work :thumbsup:
-
Outstanding work as always. Them hooks looks like they mean serious business. Are there tip wedges in there? Bue--.

Im not usually into charts and graphs, but Id love to see the draw curve graphed out on that sucker. I bet it draws even and smooth?

The static limbs are a little easier to put limb tips on due to being flat. I think they might be a tad faster haven't shot them threw a chronograph yet though. I have a bow with standard limbs the same specs as the static. The static needed 25gr less point weight on the same arrow to get to tuned. The more I shoot the static the more I like it. (Started one for myself) just don't tell my better half. It will be a static thinking all macasser ebony with some buffalo horn overlays maybe black and white ebony limbs.. ;) I think the static limbs are a tad quieter but can't swear to it. Going to hunt with it some this year. Pretty excited to try it out. :D
-
I really like your work on this one!Just a great package all round!
-
Sweet and looks like a shooter
-
Thanks guys.
-
That riser is a beauty!
Great work!
-
Don't know why more guys don't use Claro or French Walnut. Some beautiful color and figure can be had. Love your's
-
Nice bow. I built a static once. Have been building nothing else since. God bless, Steve
-

:thumbsup:
-
That's really nice looking. I'll bet it's fast, too.

I shot it with 12 and 10 gr per pound arrows. With the numbers I got I believe a 9gr arrow will be in the 190 range.

Looking that bow over closely and from my limited experience with static bows and what you have for a limb design I would bet it will be faster that 190 at 9 gpp and 28 in. That is one nicely designed bow . The brace profile and drawn profile are exactly what I look for in my own designs.
Congratulations and God bless, Steve
