An early peek at my latest bow!
« on: July 25, 2009, 11:50:00 AM »
Here is an early peek on my latest bow project!  This is one of my mild R/D longbows.  It has a zebra and walnut riser, boo core, and figured bubinga limb faces.  I'm thinking buffalo horn tip overlays!  The zebra and walnut will darken quite a bit when finished.  I'm gonna really like this color combo.  She will be 50@29.

Check out the overlays!  They are buffalo horn, and are gonna be really sweet when finished.

I've been working on the tiller as well.  I used some power lams in this one to change the tiller.  I think it's gonna work out really well.

Here she is after timing the limbs properly, rounding the limb edges, and trapping the belly.  I'm right where I want to be with weight.  Charlie wants 50@29, and I am right at 52@29 before final sanding.  This photo is drawn to 29".
