Title: A new ASL
Post by: jsweka on February 11, 2023, 07:56:35 PM

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted bow I’ve built.  I’m still at it, just slowed down a little over the past couple years.

So here it is. 68” 53#@28”. Limbs are actionboo, brown glass back, gray glass belly.  The “stacked” riser is four layers of actionboo and cherry.  I wouldn’t normally use cherry in a riser, but with this design it should have no problem holding up.  It’s not the quickest, but no ASL is. I’m happy with how it turned out - simple and clean look.

And of course supplies came from Kenny. :thumbsup:

Thats a handsome bow for sure!  Nice looking leatherwork on the grip and it looks like you got some good color complements with the tips and handle :thumbsup:

Thanks guys.
Hopefully I’ll get to take a bear in Quebec with it come June. I’m sure it will do the job if I do my part.
