New bingham T/D longbow riser
« on: April 08, 2007, 10:02:00 PM »
Brown and grey actionwood with black phenolic accents. I like how the "bullseye" on the front of the grip turned out. Limbs are black glass.

Good job matching the riser accent stripe grain to the rest of the riser. Beautious! Did you tell Binghams you were doing 65" or did you go up from 64" or down from 66"?

Up from 64". I'll lose a few pounds but hey... 60lbs will be plenty also. The back of the grip may need some reduction. It seems a bit too round in the hand.

Braced and un-braced. More shaping and sanding to go still. Shoots good though.
