[md126]

nice bow!!  is the design from kenny M's template???  either way nice job      

[White Oak]

Beautiful work!!!! Really like that wood combo.  

[Rattus58]

Love the combinations on your handle.... which I have a question on... does adding anywood to the handle as you did, add anything to the overall strength of the bow/riser to prevent failure?

A lovely "custom" bow...

Much Aloha...

The pieces I added to the belly of the riser don't add any real strength (just give me extra material for the grip)- the glass through the center of the riser and the overlays on the front is where the added strength is built in.
This is a Kenny M template- it is a very nice design.

That is a fine looking stick Trux!  Love the wood combo and the riser design!

After a week of travel- I finally got back to the bow. I got it bending the way I wanted and put some finish on it- the colors in the riser really came to life. Now to give it a few more coats, build a string-shoot it some and then in the mail for his x-mas tree.
 
Here are some shots with the wet finish.

WOW.  so good!!   i am curious about the numbers with the pw lam and tip wedges.  kenny's got a good design but i bet the changes will be great.

[Trux Turning]

I won't get any numbers on this bow- I started adding p-lams and tip wedges with this design on the second bow. There was a marked improvement in performance over the first one (almost 20fps) I think the numbers went from approx. 158 with the first bow to 178 on the second bow. Those bows were both 45#s- this one is 55#s and really spits the arrows out.

[kennym]

Wow that is a jump!! I may have to play with a longer p-lam!!

Really nice bow there!      

[Robertfishes]

nice job! I really like this one.

Great looking bow!

[Trux Turning]

Well here it is with the finish dry. Next step is to shoot it some tonight when I get home and then ship it off for a surprise x-mas present.
