The dyes I ordered were recommended by Smooth On

Absolutely.... just be careful not to over do it. too much pigment can reduce the strength of the epoxy..... And.... its messy! You really don't realize how much epoxy gets on other things until you mix up black pigment EA 40.

NUTHIN' wrong with 45" NTN, Max. That's gonna be a super bow for tight places! Lookin' good in blue, too -- Turkish horn bows were usually painted in fairly bright colors -- red & gold, blue & silver, etc.

So what type of core are you using on this thing... I just cant imagine how to keep something like this stable without it flipping over on you... This is pretty wild.... Kirk

This one is similar, the string loop is 3" long, this loop straddling the lever will help keep it in check
Carbonized boo floor, I may use Stabil kore too

Feeling much better today, coughing and coughingggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg.

First thing I did today was shoot the riser across the room trying to sand the fades, only 5/8" thick and 10" long so I made it again.

All glued up and in the hot box

I'm liking these topless forms

I've heard you have to cough to get off, whatever that means

Looks like your heat box could double as a tanning bed, and I'm just glad the topless thing is not human

This bow is very light in the hand, I had to weight it 7oz.

No stabil kore on this one
.160 stack, 1-1/8" wide limbs, 45"NTN 26#@28" 9-1/4"of reflex
I figured it would be 40# with it being so short.

Here you go shredd --I used this to figure out how long my string needs to be

Siyahs are 6" long, 3/8" wide between the loops

Buffalo Horn tip side overlays
Still need to glue on a leather bridge under the Y on the loops

About 6-1/4" braced

Full draw at 28" top 29" bottom

LOVELY! Beautiful profile and draw!

Very cool bow! I like dark sides at the string notches - nice visual detail.

Thanks guy's

Looking good, Mark. Bring this to the Classic too.

Mad Max · « **Reply #37 on:** March 22, 2022, 09:28:24 AM »

will do pat

Flem · « **Reply #38 on:** March 22, 2022, 02:17:59 PM »

Wow!!! 7oz is amazingly lite. You could carry that thing for days on end and never wear out.

Max is the NTN bow measurement along the back surface of the bow?
