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...  :archer2:

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.

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.

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.

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.
