Looking good. Are you routing out the riser?

Great looking stuff goin on!!

Bue, yes.

I Cnc the profile of the riser then add the shaping by hand. This allows me to alter grips if I so choose. Then the shelf is cut to exactly .007” past center.

I also use my Cnc to profile the limbs, cut the limb bolt alignment holes, and cut the limb butts. Makes for a quick process after glue up. It’s taken me a years worth of headaches to get here, but I pretty well have my process down.

What types of wood in that one Derek? Cool looking grain in that footing. Kirk

Must be a great help. Would it be possible to show how the limb alignment holes are made? I find this much interesting even if I will never do it myself.

Bue, I'll post a picture of the jig set up & toolpath running when I do my next limbs. It's definitely fun to watch!

Kirk, That's bacote between myrtle. The woods are a hair lighter in real life than the pic depicts. My shop lighting is bright white LEDs in a dark concrete building. So woods don't look NEAR like they do in daylight.

So for those of you still holding your breath for Kirk's bow to end up at your doorstep, go ahead and breathe. This beautiful bow ended up at my doorstep. I had asked for a bow for abbey instead of me and kirk did not disappoint. Thos 64 in slick stick is 30 lbs at her draw and zips her arrows downrange with speed and accuracy. Kirk's attention to detail and finish work is fantastic and the leapord print limbs fit her personality perfect. I was glad the arrows I have for her for so she could shoot it right away. Thank you kirk for an amazing bow.

Hello Abbey, looking sharp.

kennym · « **Reply #551 on:** March 19, 2024, 08:44:45 AM »

Awesome! Looks like she's no stranger to bow shooting!

Kirkll · « **Reply #552 on:** March 19, 2024, 08:59:00 AM »

Excellent! Looks like the slimmed down grip fits her well too. Glad it went over well…. Kirk

She’ll get sprayed later today for the first coat,2nd and 3rd coat. If I don’t find runs, she’ll ship tomorrow!

Bacote and Myrtle riser with a black back glass overlay, curly maple back and black belly glass. 60” and 40 somethin (vague; so the victim isn’t identifying it lol)

Sanding off sealer coates. Now you see how good or bad you sanded in the first place.

Mad Max · « **Reply #558 on:** March 20, 2024, 07:57:02 AM »
