I liked the natural (quilted) maple that Greg used in my trade bow- I gave this figured maple a try- not as nice as the trade bow maple but it will do. Riser is shedua with black and white glass accents- limbs are maple veneers over a bamboo core.

Looks good Trux. Did you grind the veneers yourself?

Yea Jess, from some wood I picked up in Az. this spring.

Bow is looking great. What are the specs on that? Stack?

Looks good, Cant wait to see it finished.....

Sorry to repost... whats the specs on the handle?.. LxWxH?

Trux Turning · « **Reply #7 on:** May 16, 2011, 07:55:00 PM »

The stack is 380 with a wag on the weight. This one will be pretty skinny. The riser specs- 22"x1.5"x2 1/4"- the length fade to fade is the 22"s- the thickness will be around 1.25-1.3" when done

Thanks-it's 62" ntn- we'll see if the longer riser is a good replacement for the p-lams :rolleyes:

Should work!

P-lams are probably cheaper tho... :D

I love those curves Trux, this should be a nice one. Can't wait to see the finished product you build some perty bows!

Trux Turning · « **Reply #12 on:** May 21, 2011, 11:55:00 AM »

Thanks! Slowly making some progress on this one-my stack guess was a little heavy so some trapping and narrowing of the limbs is still needed- right now it is 63#s, but there is alot of sanding left so I should be able to reduce the weight some more. Here it is braced at a little over 6"s.

Limbs pulling straight and draw to 28" to look at tiller.

Here is where I'm at with this one-there is still plenty of sanding left before it gets some finish- it will end up 55#@28", 62"ntn- this one may turn into a two piece if I get ambitious or brave enough to cut it in half. Shot a few arrows with it and am liking how it performs.

beautiful work trux

coming along very nicely...I like it:-)

Looks good! Did adding the longer riser change the performance?

Trux Turning · « **Reply #17 on:** May 29, 2011, 09:43:00 PM »

Greg- It gains 2-3 lbs per inch until 30"s and then starts to stack-the other one had a couple more inches in it before it stacked. This one is super quiet and seems fast- I'll try and run some arrows through a chrono and see how it does compaired to the shorter riser with p-lams.This is drawn to approx. 30"s-

Trux Turning · « **Reply #18 on:** May 30, 2011, 10:51:00 AM »

Shot the bow this morning compaired to another bow off the same form with the shorter riser- both are 55#@28" with the same #strands of FF string- shooting the same arrow- 9gpi. Although the bows are not identical the green bow was one of the faster ones I had until now- the new bow was consistantly 5-6fps faster- of course I had to post the highest speed- :rolleyes:

GREG IN MALAD · « **Reply #19 on:** May 30, 2011, 01:28:00 PM »

I like the new strung profile better and that is really good performance. Just curious, how fast does the swap bow shoot for you?
