Looking good Kenny. What kind of wood is it?

kennym · « **Reply #4 on:** January 10, 2020, 03:36:30 PM »

Its gonna be an all Zebra with amber boo cores.

He said just build it whatever I wanted. The veneers have a white bughole thru them about the size of a pencil lead. So I sanded them full of dust and put a drop of superglue on them before final sanding. Lookin good!

And Roy don't want a GLASS bow! That's fer rogues and pierats…

Kenny is this a trad guy? If not, I bet he will be. That zebra will be pretty. Your 64"?

He is a selfbow guy, said he has built 127 of em but he is over it and I let him shoot a FHLB and he wants one just like it but one piece and not painted black. LOL

So it's gonna be a 58" FHLB , he says he shot the other one better than any bow he has tried... Hope this one is as good !

BTW he has a 29" draw and no stack or pinch...

Gee thanks Kenny, I knew you were sweet on me!

Jokes aside, that will be a nice looking bow, he will be pleased I’m sure.

LOL hoping to glue it tomorrow. Ice here tonite and figured the oven might go out...

David Flanrey · « **Reply #9 on:** January 10, 2020, 07:50:51 PM »

Yep that will be much different than what he is used to.

kennym · « **Reply #10 on:** January 10, 2020, 08:30:33 PM »

He liked the flatter arrow flight trajectory

The grain pattern on that wood is like some art or a Rorschach image. Thats going to make a exceptional looking bow for your buddy. Lucky guy

Psychologist, holding bow up, "What do you see?"

Patient, "dead deer".

Looking good. Impatient to see it strung

kennym · « **Reply #16 on:** January 13, 2020, 10:40:34 AM »

Rough profiled and strung. Looks pretty good , tiller off a quarter and 8 lb heavy. That’ll work!

Prifile looks nice, will you sand belly glass?

kennym · « **Reply #18 on:** January 13, 2020, 11:45:08 AM »

May have to sand glass a little , think belly is better than back? About 4 lb heavy now after working on tiller. I could trap it a little...

Veneers look fine
