I started a new 3-peice design in the summer of 2012 and had a few learning experiences along the way. After I finished my new spine tester design I went back to finish this one in time for the Chamberlin Ranch Traditional Rendezvous last week. A lady I use to work with had given me this incredible piece of quilted maple and I finally figured out what to do with it after having it for several years.
The bow is 64" and 47# at 30". It is great for shooting all day long. The limbs are double carbon over maple cores. The finish is 3 coats of gloss Thunderbird then wet sanded and polished.

Bisch
very nice
I like it and I'm picky. That is one nice looking bow. In fact there is one I built for my wife about 5 years ago on my rack that is almost a clone. Great job. You have those heavy D limbs working great.
God bless, Steve
Wow! X3 :thumbsup:
Good looking bow Kevin.... Haven't seen you around for awhile. Good to see you are still building some stuff. :thumbsup:
I bet that thing IS quick.... What type of carbon are you running on that one?
You finished that one up pretty sweet Kevin! The shallower limb pad angle sure changes the strung profile. Is there more preload in the DFC?
Send me an email about chamberlain.
Beautiful!!!
Nice :thumbsup:
Ghee..........
That is the most beautiful piece of maple I have ever seen......
Awesome.
Wow! That is one beautiful bow. :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
That is a beauty!
Nice work,...Beautiful Maple in the riser..!
:thumbsup: :campfire:
Looking good Kevin. If it shoots as good as the 3 piece of yours I shot before it looks like you have out done yourself. I really like the grip on this bow.
Tom
That is one beautiful bow.
Thats a fine looking bow and I bet it's pretty quick.
That is gorgeous!
I like the maple cool lines.
That is a beautiful bow!!!
Gorgeous! The name seems very appropriate.
Thanks in advance Cupcake.
I look forward to seeing your bow at full draw.
If it looks anything like what I have pictured in my mind I'd love to fling some arrows out of it.
Yours is the 1st 3 piece bow that has caught my eye.
God bless,Mudd
PS: It isn't the beautiful wood that got me,(It is gorgeous) it's the elegance of the design.
Wow
Nice job, that is a sweet sweet looking bow!
Very nice! Never seen a maple riser like that.
Here is a photo of the bow at full draw ~30 inches. There is an illusion that the lower limb is bending more than the upper. When my son took the photo that was his reaction. After some investigating we took back-to-back photos drawing normally and then with the bow flipped upside down and the bends had exactly the same illusion. I conclude that it must be perfectly matched and I will never have to build another bow. The tiller on this one is +1/16".

Very nice work! The illusion you described is often caused by the camera not being perpendicular to the center point of the bow.
Nice!
Thank you!
God bless,Mudd
That is one awesome looking bow!!
She's a beauty Kevin very nice :thumbsup:
Kevin, bring it up to the range Sunday for the fun shoot. I enjoy shooting your bows. I want to see if I can "10 ring" with the first arrow like I have done with your other bows.
Beeeeeautiful riser!!!
