Double shelf (pics)
« on: April 07, 2010, 12:18:00 PM »
Here's one I finished this week. Glass and Glue from Kenny M. Was originally going to be black glass but when I ground the walnut I thought it was too nice to cover.
Specs: 60" and 62" amo
40# and 48#
Aboo and walnut cores,powerlam and tip wedges
Phenolic and maple riser.
Clear and brown glass.
Need to  get a new camera.

Paul, that is a beauty! Do you make a separate string for the short knock spacing? One inch at both ends for the second knocks? Is that a purple heart "I" beam peaking out of the riser?

Thanks Shaun.. Yes. The bow takes 57" and 59" strings. The I beam is black phenolic with red phenolic,maple side plates in the center. Then black phenolic and maple going the other way. Clear as mud??

Looks great.  Nice work.  What was the layup of laminations you used.  Thickness and taper.  What is the length of the riser.

That is really neat, you did a wonderful job.  The double shelf and dual nocks pretty cool, and versatile too boot.
