58" D/R Glass Longbow Build
« on: December 07, 2013, 06:49:00 PM »
Started this one about a month ago.  Got my supplies from Kenny M.  Started with some charcoal action wood, Aboo cores, and charcoal riser block.

Here are a few pics of the build.  I didn't take a lot of pics along the way.  When I get started working I don't think about the camera soon enough.

This is the first lefty I have ever made.  Tough shooting it.  But I'm learning.   :laughing:    :laughing:

Kenny, with all this new equipment Roy has now just seems like he is giving in to the dark side.  I think he needs some AC/DC lams and some glass to push him over the edge.   :laughing:

Know what you mean Dan.  I've been shooting it and I'm right handed.  You really have to think about it.  I'm not that bad.   :archer2:  

Got more sanding to do to it and then the finish.  Gonna have to warm up before I can spray some Thunderbird.
