Lets see your Kenny M longbow
« on: July 22, 2010, 08:41:00 AM »
Lets face it Kenny has a great longbow form and people all over the world are making that bow.  It would be nice to see all the different styles and variations..I'll start with my latest bow.  I had some zebra and grey actionwood so I put them together.  Its 50# @ 28" about 63" and I glued it up before X mas.  Overlays just about everywhere you can put them an a flat TB finish.  I also added some Pierce Points in the handle when joining the zebra and actionwood.

thats a great looking bow, I really like the wood choice, and Brad's usual attention to finish...just hoping the new dress code for showing bows doesn't catch on;)

Also, I had some info that  I wanted to share regarding building a kids bow on Kenny's form.  A friend of mine recently used my form and glued up a 2" wide blank, ripped it in the middle and made two 52", 7/8" wide at the fades, 20# @20" kids bows.  He used brown glass, 3x .45 parallel maple lams and a 14" riser.  They look and shoot pretty nice.

I have built three R/D's using the 64"template from KennyM, I am a self taught hobby bow builder that learned from reading posts and build-a-longs..first pic is the one I built for my friends 16 year old daughter a couple of months ago, she has been shooting a bow for at least 10 years. She loves her new R/D bow!
