Title: New bow for a friend
Post by: kennym on September 27, 2015, 05:31:00 PM
Had a friend wanting me to build one for him, he bought some beautiful lams and sent me. I had a pc of riser that would compliment it(I thought)and put some black and red phenolic in for accents.

53@28 on a 58" D/R  (came in a little light)

Grenadillo riser and not sure what the veneers are, thinkin myrtle with curly koa on tips?

Phenolic IBeam in riser and a curved phenolic accent.

Think he will like it?    

He is on here sometimes, so he will get a sneak preview too if he happens by...   :D

Love the way the bow looks and bends at full draw. Draw weight is in my wheelhouse as well. I guess you could say I'm "Green" with envy.

Thank you all! This bow went together well, the lighter weight was a product of the lams being softer kind of like red cedar. I used a pc of the same material that came as packing on the lams for riser accents and noticed it was softer than the riser wood by a lot.
