Really neat looking bow!   :thumbsup:  What kind of wood is that on the limbs? Or is it an effect you used on them?

Those slim tips look well done,for sure from the design the bow must be a shooter.

Thats a sharp lookin bow Kenny.  Is that "Actionboo" (bamboo) or the "Actionwood" (Birch) you were talking about getting-in. I love that riser profile and drawn profile.

Thanks guys!!

Jim ,I have shot it some inside,seems fast enuff and really quiet w/o silencers.

VTer- The limbs are anglecut actionwood veneers,made by cutting 5/8" to 0 from end to end with 2 degree blade angle. I guess a compound cut.

NC Swampbuck, probably 15 hours total.

Ductape- I'm likin it!!

Post by: kennym on February 14, 2010, 01:53:00 PM
Randy, that is actionwood,anglecut. I like it,never thought I'd like a-wood in limbs,but sure like this!!

Mudd,PM at ya!

Post by: Jason Kendall on February 14, 2010, 02:07:00 PM
That cross cut actionwood is a whole lot better looking than the edge grain, and your prices on the laminations are great too!

Great Job Kenny!! Love the lines on that bow. I have allways wanted to do that but considering how I have become obsessed with high end bow, I think I will just keep buying and shooting them!!!   :thumbsup:
