The lam giveaway is turning into a bow. Fred Gimbel is becoming an avid bowyer and a good friend to boot!He was lookin to make a dark bow.Heres a few pics......

The riser block I sent has become this,I glued a couple strips of Wenge in it because he is shootin for 67#,we thought it needed reinforcement.......

Kenny you outdid my wildest expectations ! If you think I had a lot of questions with the riser wait till I get hands on these limbs . Part of me is a little nervous about screwing things up but the better part of me wants to dive in . You weren't kidding the fine sanding takes a while . I think the riser is ready . I would like to let everyone know how easy Kenny has made this for me . You will not find a better man , He is very knowledgeable and talks plain , simple and easy to follow methods . If I can build a bow with my knobby mason hands anyone can . Can't wait to get this thing together . I already have plans in the back of my head for a recurve . Again I want to thank Kenny for all he's done , and I will get pics up when I can , Fred

Kenny's got me hooked . I'm wrestling with the tiller at present but hope to have in under control in a day or two . I have to get my Daughter to take more pics so I can post them . This thing is too beautiful to have been made by me . Thanks to Kenny I now have another addiction ,seriously my sincerest thanks to Kenny for giving me the confidence and the chance to do this , I look forward to many happy hours out in the barn sawing and sanding . Can't wait to shoot this thing , Fred
