I had Marty build me a bow blank and he was kind enough to put some pics on the bowyers bench for me to see before he ships it. I think he did a fantastic job and can't wait to get this projct going....check it out on the bowyers bench!!

Nice looking bow blank,great looking comdo of woods.

Ron, just checked out the pics. Marty does a great job. A bow blank is a great way to get introduced to building your own bows.

Good luck with the project and post some pictures when she's done.

Thanks guys, I'm excited to get started on this project. Just got to take my time and it should be a good shooter!

Saw the pics.. have to tell ya i have always been a fan of Apex's work... He has inspired a few of the wood combo's i have used.

Top notch!!!

Thanks guys!  I actually screwed up building his riser.     I had planned zebra/osage/zebra and had it ready to cut out the fades when I realized I was building a straight bow not an R/D.  I went back and laminated the back piece on to make it flat again.  I think it turned out better than the original plan.  Ron picked all the wooods, I just had to figure out how best to make them flow well.

And I am very pleased.............

Beautifimus!!  Love the Wood Grain on the Limb!!

Looks nice and Marty's bows are also known to be shooters.

Now you will have to shoot as well as that bow looks.

Ken, we'll have to have a match....say at 9 yards!!

Ron,
Maybe when you get back from Florida.  You did say 25 yards.....right?

Now boys behave!

I'll be the score keeper just in case anyone's sight fools them.    

Nice looking blank Ron.

Geeeez Marty, wish I could "screw up" like that!!
   
Great combo for the riser and the limbs look great. She'll be a real looker when you are done.
Have fun,
Ed

White Oak, boy am I glade he made that mistake....lol, Marty has a good eye, that's why I told him to use his own judgment on the riser, he did good!!!

Ron, I don't believe you could go wrong with Marty.I have followed his work for quite some time and he is top notch.Not only does he do beautiful work, he is extremely generous when it comes to sharing his methods and helping others. Believe me, I have bugged him plenty.
Enjoy that new bow. I am sure it will turn out super. Please post pics when you get her done.
Take care,
Ed  

Ron, Congrats on your new project.
I'm with Ed. Get pics up when you can. Marty is a very talented and unique individual.
You don't find em any better to work with.

I didn't see the bow blanks on his website,are they listed some where else?

I first saw him tell about the blanks on the sponsors classifieds. You can just send him a PM and he will answer all your questions. Very helpful guy!!

Thanks Ron,he sent me a PM.I have done a few blanks and would like to do another.
Thanks
John
