66" Hill - Phenolic/black glass
« on: June 29, 2014, 07:43:00 PM »
I glued this bow up about 2 years ago, intending for it to be a reverse handle string follow.  After I initially strung it, I did not like the look at all, thus I finished it as a regular hill. It sat on the shelf for a long time and moved with me out to NJ.

I wanted to do a high gloss finish and I sprayed the first coat of TB on this about 5 weeks ago, I then sanded and sprayed about 3 more timed and then let it cure for a couple weeks.  I wet sanded and wet sanded after that, then buffed and waxed.  This is the first and last time I do a high gloss finish.

Specs:

67# @ 28" - 66" NTN.  14" black phenolic riser with a 16.5" .016 speed tuff p-lam and tip wedges, bamboo core with .005 total taper per inch.  I also added a .016 speed tuff lam in the core.  Trapped from back to front.

I also noticed today I wrote 76# on the bow under all the finish....instead of 67# what it is supposed to be.  Here are some pics:

Really good looking bow. I know that finish was a pain to do but it makes that black bow really POP.

Now that is a sweet bow! Where do you get your phenolic? I am wanting to purchase some larger pieces for risers but could only find 1/4 " pieces from Bingham.

Thanks everyone...


For the phenolic, try Plastics International - Item LB-1.75-S

I think you have to call them to order

Great bow!
also like the phenolic. I was looking at doing a riser with G10 as a large component 'till I saw the prices!
