finished 3rd bow
« on: August 04, 2009, 05:46:00 PM »
finished new bow last night..I went with a 20 1/8" riser on this one (used a 21 3/4" riser in first two) 1 3/4" wide limbs, Walnut Dymondwood riser, Walnut veneers and red elm taper from KennyM. I don't have a bow scale but it feels like it will go 50# @ 28", gonna build a few more of these before hunting season and a 56" "treestand" bow. I guess I can sell my favorite Hunting bow now, my awesome 52 lb 56" BW TF III..

Looks real nice there Robert.  I'll have some at TBOF to trade if we make it there.  I'm in the same boat as you now.  Selling custom bows and using my self glass bows.

Thanks guys,still learning, only bled 3 times on this one...Shawn I just made a real big batch of "deer meat" spagetti, If you guys are hungry stop by and have some with us,we will also have some smoked sausage,eggs and wraps for breakfast.
 I sold almost all of my favorite bows and one old gun to get the tools to make "my own" bows.
