Title: Avery's bow
Post by: Bvas on May 28, 2017, 12:40:00 PM

Finished up my youngest daughter Avery's bow yesterday.
58", 30# @24". Grandillo riser with maple lams. The tips were narrowed slightly with extra long overlays. This way I can trim some length later so that the bow can grow with her.
Im just glad I remembered to cut her riser on the wrong side.lol

Overall I really liked the grandillo. Cut nice and hand sanded nicely. Which really surprised me given how heavy the wood is. I did notice that some sections wanted to clog my small drum sanders. But a quick spin in reverse and they came clean.

That's what I thought of it too. Don't have the bow done, was helping a bud build it when he fell getting into a tree stand and broke his back. Miracle but he's getting along great now. He will be back to finish one of these days.

Thanks guys. It was her riser design with just a little influence from dad.
And yes, she loves it!
