New build... Finished Pics pg2
« on: May 27, 2012, 10:01:00 AM »
I thought I would share some progress with everyone.  Here is my latest design. I tweaked the limb and riser angles. It's made of zebra, bolivian rosewood, and glass. This one is basically scraps from other projects. It's my "Frankenstein" bow! lol It's roughly 52# @ 28" Seems to shoot decent so far. I'm very pleased with the results. I've got alot of final sanding and finishing to do. I'll post pics after that. Here's what it start out as...

 
Here's where I'm at so far...

That's an awesome looking bow. If this is a bow you made out of scrap then I wonder how a bow looks, when you put all the material together yourself.

Frankenbow turned out pretty well I'd say.  I wish my scraps looked this good

Put my finale coat on her tonight. Hope to get to do some shooten this weekend. I had some trouble getting it all to fit together. The blocks of wood were just about to small. I ran  short on my veneers and had to splice them. the wood match up really well in color though.All total I think I cut parts out of 4-5 differnt chunks. I wanted to use rosewood for the wedges but lack about 1" so I put zebra in its place. Thanks everyone.
