2017 Hunting Bow(s) BOTH DONE !!

[kennym]

Found an aluminum riser template for a wave riser a good bud gave me, and decided to build myself a bow with it.

Here are some pics to start this show, will try to take more as I build the bow.


 

 

And with a junk set of limbs to see how profile will be...

 

There is the other part of the template to mark the wave to the left of bow.....

I'm liking the looks of it so far.

[monterey]

I'm liking it too  

[Roy from Pa]

It's ok.

[Crittergetter]

I like it!!
Just hope you fixed those gaps before you glued the riser together!  

[kennym]

HA! Check it out, that's the sister, I haven't fitted it yet....  :D

[Bvas]

So your makin yourself TWO new hunting bows  

[Trenton G.]

Well, if you finish it and don't like it, I suppose I could take it off your hands for ya.

Looks good so far!

[Bodork]

Looks good so far! Maybe it will still be around in Sept. and I can shoot it a little.

Hahahah.... I didn't notice that part!

[kennym]

The one I glued up fit great with no extra sanding. The other one might be better if I slid it a little so the ends are even.  


I looked at my edge sander a bit for a profile sander tonite. Got an idea or 2 goin....

I guess I'll have to build 2   :(   , hate to throw away the other riser....  

[arachnid]

That looks real good.
Wish I have a spare set of limbs laying around.

[kennym]

The spare limbs are junk, they are where I learned to not crank the hold downs on the side of form tight against the bow limbs......  :p

[J. Holden]

Looks like zebra wood and what else?

[bow loving man]

Looks good, you could build one RH and one LH and I could shoot the lefty in Sept!!! LOL

[kennym]

Zebra and jatoba ( Brazilian cherry)

Left handed just don't seem right ( LOL) , I've built about three of em and was scared to death I'd cut the shelf on the wrong (right) side .

I've made myself a left handed bow once. And I shoot right handed. LOL

[monterey]

I made a lefty by accident once. Their wa s a lefty needing a bow so it worked out.

[kennym]

Here's my dilemma, do I use all zebra veneers or put this little pc of figured cherry on one side of limbs? Only enough cherry for one bow or one side of two.

Just glued up the sister riser...

 

Or one bow zebra and one cherry?  

[Bvas]

Or cherry/zebra spliced?
