Be careful your overlays dont get into the flexing part of the fades.

Im getting this one cleaned up & hopfully profiled today , Im really liking the flat sawn honey look of this maple I might exsperment with a acid tone epoxy finish for the riser or tung oil to see if the I can get the riser to match !

Forwardhandle · « **Reply #492 on:** September 21, 2019, 09:04:03 AM »

This one is starting to look like a bow, man this thing is really a feather weight bow

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #493 on:** September 21, 2019, 09:29:24 AM »

I guess it's ok:)

That Maple looks awesome Ritchie. Whats an acid tone finish?

Forwardhandle · « **Reply #495 on:** September 21, 2019, 10:33:50 AM »

Just mixing acid tone & smooth on , those pics are not that good in real time it has a nice honey/maple patina thanks Roy , I got 1 set of knocks cut and the boss kyboshed my shop time today hope to get it strung in the morning feels like its around the right weight will see !

You should check out this Clear Coat epoxy. It real low viscosity, but 100% epoxy solids . I use it for "Micarta", because it wets out most materials without thinning. I have also used it as a guide coat on some risers. It actually brushes OK at package consistency. It's viscosity is rated at 400cps, EA-40 is around 70,000-100,000cps.

Thanks Flem I'm going to play with some scrap maple, I might go dark overlays haven't decided yet , I figured the thinned smooth on would match the same patina look but jumping the gun need to see how every thing bends with the short riser and bobbed super/lam !

Forwardhandle · « **Reply #498 on:** September 22, 2019, 07:21:09 AM »

Got it strung first impressions compared to the other 58" seams to have much better early draw & defiantly smoother draw it feels just like the 60" to me I dont know how that will translate to shooting yet but so far so good ! The bobbed S/L added more working limb but I think 58" is the minimum for this form the profile is starting to become more angular with slightly less reflex !

Flem that looks like good stuff for bows, have you sprayed it?..
