[ You are not allowed to view attachments ] has anybody used one of these blanks for a bow build and if so what style longbow did you make? Ive thought about making a hill style bow but i dont have the tools to cut and sand fadeouts
-
I think you'll still have to do the fine sanding to get the fades feathered out correctly.
-
I figured there would need to be some fitting and sanding to get everything perfect. Do you think this would be possible with hand tools such as a sanding block
-
If you absitively posilutely can't cut and sand one yourself it's a good way to go. One way to feather them out is to lay it on a flat smooth surface back down and feather with 60 grit sandpaper glued to a flexible backing about six or eight inches long. Take your time and check your work.
You could also enquire with a supplier like Kenny and see if he might do it for you. Advantage being that you could select other lengths, etc.
That kind of riser is perfect for a hill style. You can make it flat, reflexed or string follow just depends on how you design the form.

Yup, I'll do it. And probably cheaper! :goldtooth:
-
I've used these in the past and they come ready to glue. I never had to touch them up at all.

You will not find any better quality of work and materials than from Kennym.
