Man why did you post this? The only bow that I want right now is a Kanati. I need to turn a light on and go shoot and talk myself out of getting one!

Jason called and said my Green Goblin was behind mailed today, so when it hits, I'll oblige.

thats not my bow,  but I can tell you its standard grey dymondwood (or actionwood).   Jason can build them in any readily available action/dymondwood color,  contact him he is very helpfull.

:dunno:  I guess maybe it is. Lamey was the original owner. Maybe he will chime in.

DARNIT!

lol

I have my ONE bow..a whip
Absolutely love it...but...
My golly I want to try out a Kanati.

Just looks ideal.


BUCKY..
Are those actionwood cores? or maybe stained?
I really like the blacked out look man!
Title: Re: Kanati longbow pics
Post by: BUCKY on September 12, 2012, 06:53:00 PM
John those are actionwood cores.

Jason just sent out his first all phenolic riser Kanati this week.  Hopefully the owner is a member here and gives us a peak.

He was holding the riser to do a bow bolt version, but he let it go before the two piece came to fruition.

Just ordered my first Kanati today.  As I'm not a fan of Dymondwood (particularly when quarter sawn)I was able to do some research with Rosewood Archery and came up with a ziricote/phenolic combo that should be really stealthy with black glass and get this a black medallion    :readit:    

Jason is offering some longer bows from extended forms.  Mine will be 62 inches of traditional bliss...

Now the wait...

WHAT!!!!!!
He's making 62"?!

you know...you guys don't make saving $$$$ very easy..lol

Post by: wihill on September 12, 2012, 10:15:00 PM
If there was one bow I owned and traded off that I want back, it's a Kanati.

Man I miss that bow.  Rarer than hen's teeth in the classifieds - that alone should tell you something.

Someone on here's got a "mountain camo" version with quarter sawn limbs in the green/brown/black camo that's just AWESOME - if and when that bow ever hits the classifieds, well, everyone better be ready.   :D

I don't think Jason's doing bows with clear glass anymore - I can understand why, but what a shame - he had some absolutely beautiful bows with the amber bamboo (mine was like that) and the quarter sawn lams.

That cocabola(?) bow very well might be the sharpest looking kanati I've seen...NICE!

John,

Look at the site window.  It's the rosewood colored dymondwood I believe.  Sharp is an understatement!  I know dymondwood has some superior qualities in mass and strength, but to me it's like crab with a "K" krab...

Wood is good!

Thanks Keith.
I could tell it was a laminated wood.
Just trying to describe which one.
You may very well be right about it being rosewood colored.

Just sent Jason the down payment on one. Walnut riser, 61lbs, and as of right now 58" long. Wondering if I'd like the 56 incher though. What string do yall like on your Kanatis?
Title: Re: Kanati longbow pics
Post by: tex-archer on September 13, 2012, 06:38:00 PM

The dark red bow is Rosewood DymondWood (with black phenolic) and Cross-cut gray actionwood limbs and the other is Cocobolo DymondWood with boo limbs.  

Love them both...really need to get better pics in the woods, hopefully next to a deer with me hold it!

I will also try to get better pictures of the limbs to see the veneers better.

Thanks,

Josh
