Been working the past couple days on the riser.  The grip feels comfortable, just  not sure I like all my other contour lines. May leave it alone for a couple days to get a fresh look.

Looks comfy! One thing you might do on the next is radius the corner from shelf to side plate. You won't have any probs with the I-beam in there, but when a riser gives it is usually from that spot down across the riser at an angle it seems.

The radius helps somewhat on that.

Congrats on a shooter!! You have shot it, yes?  :D

Nope.
I'll tell you the same thing I told my wife. I'm not shooting it til it's done!!  Well...... maybe before the finish goes on.

So far, I'm loving it!!!   ;)  
It definitely hits hard.
Arrow flight wasn't the best. But that's to be expected with no restf, no nocking point, and arrows that I'm sure were underspined.
I think I'm gonna set up a tiller tree and check timing/string travel before I finish it. Bow is still a little heavier than I wanted. So I figure any tiller adjustments I make will also help drop a little weight.

No finer sound than that of an arrow you made from a bow you made hitting the target!

Then there's the opposite...

The crack of a failed bow.

It's what makes it interesting!

All Done!!!
Ran about 100 arrows thru it today and got it all tuned up(got the bruise on my forearm to prove it, lol).  Not hitting my arm any more.  Very little shock, and just a nice little thud on release.  A big thanks to all the trad gangers for their help.  And a big thanks to Kenny!!! One for giving out the blue prints for all to use, and two for answering all my questions and free advice.  Not sure it is still considered a Kennym with all the tweaks I did, but I know it started its roots there lol.  Hope ya like the pics, cuz I LOVE the bow!!!

Number 2-5 are already in the planning stages!!!
I think the wife and three kids were waiting to see if I was successful before placing their orders. We had a lottery draw on Sunday. My 13 yr old son Clay will be helping build his bow next.
