ok she is finished.
« on: August 31, 2013, 04:12:00 PM »
don't know what to call her. maybe heartbreak.  had about 15 more pounds in mind for it... but it is what it is. sweet shooter though.  probably the best finish job i have done yet.

Fantastic job Eric!  I love those flipped tips.  Very sexy look.  If I had to say one bad thing about it, it's that the tip overlays are a bit thick for me, but they seem to fit the bow nice.

Great job on the skins too!  :thumbsup:

No reason to call it heartbreak..Light or not you should be very proud of it.  Looks great

yeah my idea with the tips was to try and extend the recurves a bit and maybe gain an ounce of performance.  dont think it did much but that was my intent.

haha you bet there is!  i been wanting to do a tri lam like ole Roy... and i will.  just not sure if its next.  the next month will be  focused on getting ready for my first stickbow hunting season... and my Ohio trip.  while in ohio im going to try to score a stash of wood.   cant remember if i said this in this thread already but im considering trading my glass bow for staves and boards.  it doesn't have that magic feel like a wood bow does to me.    if i start a project during deer season its gonna go slow (not a bad thing).   i really want to build a heavier bow.... 57-60 or so.... and built solely for performance and dependability .... no character for character's sake.  solid no nonsense type.   a bow for bigger game than deer if/when i get the chance.
