New 57" One Piece done!
« on: April 02, 2015, 06:44:00 PM »
Finally got the bow finished. It is 57", 48#@28"
Riser wood is predominant cherry with a 5/16" strip of rosewood and two .040 strips of dogwood. The riser backing is also rosewood and dogwood. Laminations are maple actionwood dyed red mahogany. It is finished with Tru-Oil left glossy for now. Later on I can take off the shine with 0000 steel wool if I please.
She is a real nice shooter, however, next time I use this form I will probably make make it a 58" bow.
I apolgize for the poor quality pictures, I always do better taking pics outdoors.

Thank you all for the nice comments, she is a sweet shooter, I tried it out in my basement the first time. I have always said that I can build them better than I can shoot them!    :thumbsup:

Been busy with life lately, but finally here is a picture test shooting the next bow off the same form as the cherry bow. It has a walnut and Padauk riser, black glass over gray maple actionwood lams. 57" ntn, 50lb.@28". This time I made the riser longer and beefier and am pleased with the results.

Should be very fast and have good draw force curve. I love the way the tips are holding up at full draw. Semi Static. Very neat design. Good job.

God bless, Steve

I really like the finished bow, you did a very nice job. Did you design the bow yourself?
