I'm having South build me a set of the new limbs. Any suggestions for veneers to go with this riser? I will be hunting with it.

Thanks Eric, I have seen some that South has done with that and they look great. I can have different back and belly veneers. Any other suggestions?
I have a few days to decide. Anymore help out there?
mike
def charcoal gray tiger maple
or a camo action wood
dont know if south offers it
but the camo sure would be cool
Thanks Kevin. I'll bet he has some, what about belly veneers or do the same for both sides?
Does that bow come with batteries :bigsmyl: .
Yep, marine deep cycle, hooked in series! You wouldn't beleive how well it actually blends into the woods though, but those mountain and sagebrush terrains ???
I would go w/ gray or green stained curly maple on the back and copperhead skins on the belly.
You can always have it dipped. your options are endless. Billy does a great job.

Thanks Kirk. I had a bow dipped in the Ultimate Camo...WOW!
Yep I like the idea of hunting bunnys with a bow like that about Easter time.
I seeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Purpleheart veneers
God bless you all, Steve
Thanks Steve. When I can't sleep I can still get help from you west coast boys! Do you think the subdued purple like on the riser or some brighter purple? What about the belly?
Just reverse the riser colors - green/grey crosscut veneers on back and purpleheart on the belly. Have him include the riser overlay wood in the limb overlays and tips.
And that is why you are truly, the Jedimaster! THANKS!

Yeah don't set that down by a tree and walk away.

Pretty much what I was thinking.
Maybe a wave going thru them.
you know...a green wave running thru the P-heart or vice-versa.
Whatever comes with sunglasses.
What Jesimaster said sounds really good to me. Another complimentary color would be something yellow or golden such as golden myrtle.
God bless and Merry Christmas, Steve

:saywhat:
I was thinking I could cut some veneers off of a candy cane, one of those big ones they sell at the mall. :D

Thats funny right there!!!
That would give you something to do while sitting the stand.....suck on your limb tips :)
Jake, I've been given that advice before...with a slight twist at the end :rolleyes: ;) Now that South has seen all this great advice, I will be looking to see what he comes up with! Thanks? For all your help. :thumbsup:

do we gotta build a new knife to match the new limbs?
I got in trouble the last time I made a comment about wood choice, I may have mentioned something about a wood chipper..... :goldtooth:
Khalverson,
At least this time you wouldn't have to wait for South for a piece of wood, all you'd have to do is save a candy cane from christmas for the handle. :D
I don"t know why? But I always think of Bat Man's "Joker" when I see that riser.It is cool..
I would go with knotty cedar for the veneers.. Think the purple on the riser and limbs would go together well. Then I would have South get a small block of that neon green and make the limb bolt overlays and limb tipps out of it....
ryan
ill get a candycane today
do ya think i should have it stabilized ?
might be a little sticky
but if ya were to get bored or hungry on stand
just sayin
kevin
See what you started Mike, :rolleyes:

:laughing: By the end of one sit mikes limbs will have lost 5lbs and he will have gained 5lbs.Just from him licking his candy cane limbs.At least if he is licking his bow limbs he will give the windows a break. :laughing: Sorry Mike, I could not resist.
Bill, they don't let me sit next to the windows anymore :laughing: It seems I gain 5 pounds no matter what, and I'm always asking/paying to have my limbs reduced. You guys might be on to something, self-reducing draw weight! I asked South to put that riser together regardless of his reputation, and the damage I may cause. Now, we'll see what he's able to come up with!
Mike,
All kidding aside, you're going to love these new limbs. This bow has really grown on me over the last few weeks. :thumbsup:
Aloha!
Ryan
Ryan, it was your professional review and photography that convinced me I needed a set of those limbs. Besides, I pointed out to South that I did NOT tell anyone at Compton's that I was his stand in!. :bigsmyl: So I was able to get on the list.
Hey South and Ryan, Should I get the knife maker to fire up the fordge?
I bet he can do some wild stuff with the magic ingredients of Santas candy canes.
What do you think Bill?
CTT
forge has been fired
It'll be a special knife, for a "SPECIAL" guy!!! ;)
A special guy, with special friends, and a special bow! It doesn't get any better! Hey, if I can get another KH knife out of the deal, I'm all in no matter what color it is! :smileystooges:
Well you have a green light to go Kevin.
I am well pleased with the knives you make for me and I can't wait to see what you come up with for this ride. The knife you made for the Green/purple bow was SWEET.
SWEET indeed ;)
ABSOLUTELY Special! This knife is realy going to be something.The last knife looked so great I'm sure this one will be sweet! :thumbsup:
Bill and Chuck, don't you have some bows of your own to build???I promise to show off any new knives at KaZoo, if you will send pics to South for me. Maybe we can get a poster made that South could post at the ATA event!
What pics do you want us to send him? of the knife?
The bow, the knife, and the rest of you from the Blue Collar Bowhunting Comedy Tour! :p :bigsmyl:
I just got through spraying finish on 7 risers.Its now 8:06pm.I believe!!!! Its Miller time!
Bowhunting Comedy Tour? You would not have it any other way!
Absolutely not! :biglaugh: Any candy cane 1 pc longbows in the spray booth?
Hey! We resemble that remark Mr.Owlbait.
It's a good thing that its winter or else the cane veneers would melt on the way to KH.
7 Risers? c'mon Bill, Lets pick it up some eh?
You doing a 1pc now Bill? SWEET!
No fruit strip 1 piece in this batch. Still working on the form. You will have to give it a test drive at Kzoo, Chuck.
SWEET!
Will do Bill,Thank you.
Mike,What did you end up going with for veneers?
I'm waiting for KH to post pics of the knife veneers, then I'll let South decide. I heard you and Bill and Ryan got a preview of them???
:goldtooth:
:D :notworthy: Your craftsmanship continues to be unmatched! But I like this one better.
