"Recovery"... First Finish Pix
« on: October 27, 2011, 04:12:00 PM »
Couple more good mornings work and the new bow is looking real good.  I'm quite tickled with it, even if it is too heavy for me.  It's got a nicely balanced appearance with good limb depth in the boo cores providing a nice contrast with the riser.   I'm naming it "Recovery".  It's the first one since I was able to get back into the shop steadily.   It's my Javelina forward riser pattern, 68" with olive wood outers, lamboo cores and katalox riser with a slightly dished grip. (I've really come to like that grip.) It's showing 51# on my spring scale and 52.5# on the digital. These pix are with the first coat of finish.  (I can never resist taking that pic :^) It'll get a brown leather wrap and a brown and black string.

 

 

 

That makes two 50#'ers on my wall.  I need to get back to some of my own weight :^)

Outstanding bow!  It has a nice shape, very smooth.

Another nice one Dick. So sorry to hear you have been out of action lately. Looks like that bow is also your therapy.

Way to go Dick. Nice bow
