It´s been a while since I showed up here ...
I hope y´all doing well and your arrows are flying straight
Here´s some pics of my new riser that I made last winter
Made out of G 10 glass and Bubinga wood
Carbon reinforced with maple accent stripes and horn overlays

I love the weight of that riser .... naked riser weight about 1.4 kg
the only thing that I´m not really satisfied with is ... color of the woods do not really match with my limbs .... oh well ....
greetings from across the pond
WOW-That is very nice. You done good-Hap
Wow! I work with a lot of G-10 garolite myself and doing that kind of a radius footing using G-10 is incredible. that stuff is down right brutal on tools and very hard to machine..... Big thumbs up to ya bro.... :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :notworthy: :notworthy:
If you'd like to share how you went about building that i'd love to here the story... Hat's off to ya on a beautiful job..... That's a pretty wild looking grip shape too. :eek:
Beautiful work. I have a request: could you post a picture of you holding the riser? Due to the design, I would like to see the placement of the fingers. Thank you.
KirkII
I hear yea brother :wavey:
that stuff dulls my bandsaw blades, files and tools as quick as quick can be ...
as for building it ...
here´s some pics
Cutting out the Bubinga middle section here ... that´s the easy part as you know
(http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad132/yononindo/Covert%20Hunter%20G10%20Bubinga%20Riser/Cutting%20Bubinga_zps8kxxbhat.jpg) (http://s929.photobucket.com/user/yononindo/media/Covert%20Hunter%20G10%20Bubinga%20Riser/Cutting%20Bubinga_zps8kxxbhat.jpg.html)
here comes the harder part .... cutting the G10 ...
I always cut next to the drawing line - leaving a bit of the material
(http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad132/yononindo/Covert%20Hunter%20G10%20Bubinga%20Riser/DSC_1138_zpsonvio7si.jpg) (http://s929.photobucket.com/user/yononindo/media/Covert%20Hunter%20G10%20Bubinga%20Riser/DSC_1138_zpsonvio7si.jpg.html)
and now the hardest part - at least that is for me .....
carefully sanding until them pieces fit together without any gaps between the materials ...
(http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad132/yononindo/Covert%20Hunter%20G10%20Bubinga%20Riser/DSC_1144_zps9pk9hgl0.jpg) (http://s929.photobucket.com/user/yononindo/media/Covert%20Hunter%20G10%20Bubinga%20Riser/DSC_1144_zps9pk9hgl0.jpg.html)
carbon stripes for reinforcement with maple accent stripes

glueing it together with 2 part epoxy and let dry at room temperature for at least 24 hours - NO HEAT BOX here
here´s what it looks like after sanding off excessive glue ... and drilling bolt down holes ...

I do not have any more pics about the process of making ...
Sorry about that
By the way I like your bows especially the one you made for Rick ****** :thumbsup:
----------------------------------------------------------------
I will go and do a video on how I hold / grip the bow and will show some shooting as well ...
But bare with me here, the video making will be taking quite some time ...
gimme a week or so ...
Thank you all for liking
greetings from across the pond
Man that thing looks fast !!!! Very nice :thumbsup:
Very nice job!
Very nice looking bow. I don't want to high jack this thread, but I'm curious about your quiver and the two shorter arrows?
EDIT: never mind, I just found the thread about the armguard/quiver.
Great job, you are a true craftsman. I love the g 10 material. I wish Border would start using that. I would love to have a Covert Hunter made with it.
Daniel, Joel Turner saw your video on thumb shooting and now wants a horse bow like you have.
Welcome back Daniel! Yes,it has been awhile and I'm always excited to see what you have to share with us.
You didn't disappoint either....lol
I can tell that you pay attention to all of the little details when you are working on something(anything).(so unlike me)...lol
Beautiful bow!!
I look forward to your video(s)
God bless,Mudd
Awesome job.
I have machined a fair share of G-10 over the years. Just thinking about it makes me itch.
It should be hefty and really stable. Congratulations.
That's a beautiful bow and your work is impeccable and second to none :)
Daniel, good to see you post my brother. Wow, you made that? I assume the limbs are Border?
Daniel, I can only echo what everyone has said. Amazing.
Looks great. I saw it over on tbh also. I am still not sure what the short arrows are for, though. Can someone explain?
Ahh, just saw the other thread with the video.
Daniel for some reason was thinking about you the other day. Glad to see you posting again. Great looking bow.
Daniel, welcome back. I am curious about your quiver there. Any pix of it in action / wherever you wear it ?

Thanks a bunch for the pics Daniel.... You got some TLC into that baby.... Nicely done! :clapper:

thanks brother
what does TLC stand for :dunno:
Kirkll
I´ll browse through my external hard drive disc and see if I can find some more pics
Some pics of another one I made out of "Paper Stone"
it is not as brutal on your tools, lighter that G-10, still heavy though ...

Wow Daniel, The work and finish look Great!
I am looking forward to the video of you shooting.
Holy smoke. Those are gorgeous.
Wow Daniel, those are really nice! I especially like the all black with the white accents and horn overlay. I like the wide flare much better than the narrow one that border now puts on their risers. Thanks for sharing.
Never heard of "paper stone" before. would that be a paper / epoxy phenolic? or glass/paper phenolic?
"TLC" = Tender loving care bro... lot of hand sanding fitting those wild looking footings.. At least the G-10 sands nicely. It actually sands a lot easier than linen phenolic.
That is one of the coolest high wrist grip shapes i've ever seen.... :thumbsup:
Daniel,
are you making the limbs also or do you use Border limbs?

Daniel, good to see you post my brother. Wow, you made that? I assume the limbs are Border?
Dannyyes, those risers where made to fit my Border limbs
here you have the Hex7 semi static limbs
