The lam giveaway is turning into a bow. Fred Gimbel is becoming an avid bowyer and a good friend to boot!He was lookin to make a dark bow.Heres a few pics......

The riser block I sent has become this,I glued a couple strips of Wenge in it because he is shootin for 67#,we thought it needed reinforcement.......

 

 

Heres the lams,I'm gonna glue up the limbs this weekend,and ship em to him this week...

I can't wait to see how this turns out.

Here are the limbs,one thing for sure,67# makes for a thick limb!! I think they look purty good!!Sorry about the poor lighting on the pics,think its gonna rain again!!
Gonna mail em to Fred in the AM,have fun Fred!!!!


 

 

 

Kenny you outdid my wildest expectations ! If you think I had a lot of questions with the riser wait till I get hands on these limbs . Part of me is a little nervous about screwing things up but the better part of me wants to dive in . You weren't kidding the fine sanding takes a while . I think the riser is ready . I would like to let everyone know how easy Kenny has made this for me . You will not find a better man , He is very knowledgeable and talks plain , simple and easy to follow methods . If I can build a bow with my knobby  mason hands anyone can . Can't wait to get this thing together . I already have plans in the back of my head for a recurve . Again I want to thank Kenny for all he's done , and I will get pics up when I can , Fred

You're doin just fine Fred! You made the riser look easy,think I'll just send you mine to shape from now on!!  Ya got a string?

Beautiful limbs! I'l be watching for more pics. Mike

Looking good Kenny.

Beginners luck on the riser . If the rest of this experiment goes as easy I'm gonna give BW and the others competition . yeah right .

Look'n Good Kenny and Fred!

Lookin forward to seein more....TTT>>>------<>

That walnut sure looks beautiful under that glass!  Looking forward to the rest of it! Cheers, Matt

Nice work Kenny.

Kenny's got me hooked . I'm wrestling with the tiller at present but hope to have in under control in a day or two . I have to get my Daughter to take more pics so I can post them . This thing is too beautiful to have been made by me . Thanks to Kenny I now have another addiction ,seriously my sincerest thanks to Kenny for giving me the confidence and the chance to do this , I look forward to many happy hours out in the barn sawing and sanding . Can't wait to shoot this thing , Fred

That sure is easy on the eyes!!!  

Nice
