Latest bow
« on: August 23, 2010, 11:49:00 AM »
Just finished up another bow. I decided to make a longer bow, and wanted to try some phenolic inserts in the riser. This one is 68" long, and came in at 48#. A little lighter than I wanted, but that's where it ended up and it shoots great.

I used gray actionwood under clear glass. I was kind of bummed b/c I see now that they have flat grain actionwood available which would have looked sweet on the limbs - but I guess I have an excuse to build another now.

Here's  couple pics of the beast:  

 

   

   


I finished it with Thunderbird Satin Poly. It shoots an average of 174fps. @10grains/pound for those interested in the speed.

That came out very cool. The accent colors really look good against that gray. You did an outstanding job.

I just happened to have ordered a gray actionwood block for my next riser, going to couple it with zebrawood limbs.

Yours is getting me all excited.......

thanks for posting

It's kind of based off of a Binghams hybrid, which I really liked the looks of.  The limb shape is about the same, I just made this one longer, different taper on the limbs, etc.
