With this blizzard going on I decided to start building some bows. I have a osage selfbow in the caul cooling down after a straightening session. Next up is your glass D/R longbow.

What kind of riser/grip do you prefer? Here is a pic of the two I made last summer. The brown glass walnut striped riser has a bigger riser/grip, but is still fairly narrow and the bow is a bit heavier. The black glass bow with red stripe is a much smaller riser/grip making it very light. Both feel comfortable to me and I really don't shoot one any better than the other. Not sure on what I will make the riser out of - whatever I can find in the shop! Or maybe I should order something in "pink" from Kenny?

Thinner handle with a high pistol grip. I love medium colors with black overlays and highlights.

Hey, that was the finest of head wear a few hundred years ago. :-)

Most of the beer I drink somewhat resembles used diesel oil. In appearance only of course.

Hey that don't look too shabby Roy. You're not messing around - here I thought I had a few months to build a bow and you bout got one done!

Have to agree with skeater on your choice of beer though! LOL

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #13 on:** January 24, 2018, 04:18:00 AM »

Take your time, Mitch. It's just roughed out. Have another bow to tiller ahead of yours. Be at least a month or more.

I drink that beer so the guys who come here don't like it. More for me. LOL

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #14 on:** January 24, 2018, 12:06:00 PM »

Take more time, Mitch. Realized today that I used too thick a core lam in this bow. I may not be able to get it under 55 pounds without some major wood removal. Which I would rather not do.

Light beer, Light cigarettes this bow might end up #20 if ya lucky. Should have put an anorexic model in that pic Roy. LOL

That is funny! Going to have to call you the "Richmond County Comedian".

That is ok Roy, I didn't like the looks of that first one anyway! :eek:

Weather permitting I plan on grinding some lams this weekend.
