Making a HH riser in Pernambuco wood. Same wood as they use in violin bows. I asked here a while ago how long you made these riser and I understood there was different opinions, so I made something in between 15 inches long. I also looked in Dan Bertalans book from 1989, Traditional bowyers of America. Craig Ekin of HH Archery said he used 14 1/2 for a 66 inch bow and a bit longer for longer bows. Should be fine I think.

Looks good Bue.

What are you doing for limb and glass?

Buemaker · « **Reply #2782 on:** November 20, 2021, 09:32:53 AM »

Going to use Elm and clear Bjorn glass.

That'll be a great looking bow. JF

Looks like your riser is asymmetrical

No Flem, must be the angle pic is taken. 1inch in from tips 1,5 mm thick and 2 inches in 5,5 mm. 1,5 mm is a little less than 1/16 and 5,5 mm is less than 1/4

Flem · « **Reply #2786 on:** November 20, 2021, 11:21:57 AM »

Must be the angle, because the right side of your riser sure looks longer from handle center to end of fade.

I guess it's ok:)

We live close to the ocean so today we went for a walk along the stone beach.

Guess you did not go surfing

How is the fishing there?

Jeff Freeman · « **Reply #2791 on:** November 21, 2021, 04:54:51 PM »

Definitely different coastal shores then what I have seen. Maybe similar to the North East US. JF

Buemaker · « **Reply #2792 on:** November 21, 2021, 05:26:24 PM »

Good place for sea trout.

Longcruise · « **Reply #2793 on:** November 21, 2021, 06:38:18 PM »

Quite a bit of the shoreline of lake superior looks like that.

Buemaker · « **Reply #2794 on:** November 22, 2021, 02:34:44 PM »

Very nice looking quarter sawn Elm. Interesting pattern with some green stripes.

Jeff Freeman · « **Reply #2795 on:** November 22, 2021, 03:17:12 PM »

Wow that's pretty bue. JF

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #2796 on:** November 22, 2021, 04:11:52 PM »

That is sweet..

Well after patching some walls and changing over some LED lights from fluorescent at work. I come home and got to have some real fun. I made a new strength for my longbow 68 in 42 lb. That's what it settled into. That's what I wanted. The string is 18 strand Flemish BCYX with .026 serving to match my GT nocks. Doesn't take long for this type of string material to settle down to brace height. I went out and shot a few shots I'm love in it. As usual. The bow is not finished yet I still need to sand down my epoxy sealer coats. Before I apply satin or maybe semi-gloss finish. JF

Looks great. Is there a stipled inlay on the sides of the I beam?

Jeff Freeman · « **Reply #2799 on:** November 22, 2021, 06:22:30 PM »

No it's not stimpled. It may be the way the photo editing appeared. No stimpling for me that's all the wood grain showing. It does a little flip flop the way the grain is.
