Outstanding !!  Really enjoyed seeing all that goes into making a Stalker. South is truly a master at his craft. Can't wait to get mine back from South....:0)
Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

Loved it!  Wish we could see the finished product.  Is South ever gonna put a veneer on the belly of the riser to cover the brass limb bolt holes?  Thats what I wanna see.  That would get me thinking about one.  I had one and liked it.  But I am waiting for that.

Ryan Sanpei

Thank you for all the kind words Gang!

Keith, yeah I still need to finish the video. We'll be adding the completed bow to the conclusion of the  bow build. The Wolverine is exposed, but his Coyote models aren't. Here's my Coyote FXT.

That was a great video. I'm always trying to find things like that. I hope you put more up like that.

Ryan Sanpei

Thanks Rick,
Hopefully South and I will get together to get more stuff done. It's tough being separated by the Pacific Ocean.   :D

Now I can understand why more people don't put together videos like these. That video alone had over 3 hrs of raw footage, 8 pages of narration and 18 hrs of editing time and we're still not done.    :knothead:   LOL!

Really appreciate the kind words from everyone. Makes sharing this stuff well worth it!    :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:

That looks good Ryan.  Sweet.  Even better checkered like the one I had done.

Keith, Glad to hear you like the checkered grip. Along with the static limbs South is making for my Wolverine he's also checkering the grip of my riser.

Wow, a true craftsman.
There is a lot of work there in both the bow building and the video editing , well done guys.

This video is akin to the Bear bow building on Rural Route One. Which to me was the bench mark in bow building videos.
Awesome...

Cheers
Mark.

Great video.

Occasionally a thread pops up asking why custom bows cost such a pretty penny....well, here's why  :) . Lots of time and energy goes into these and each one is truly custom.

The video was awesome and very interesting!!  Very nicely done, Ryan.

South, you are a true artist and excellent craftsman.  Quite a process and beautiful bows are the result!

Just the initial investment in equipment and supplies must be something.  I wish I had a few of the machines you have for the work I do with wood.  I know they are not inexpensive!

Very neat video.
