New one coming!
« on: April 24, 2007, 01:30:00 PM »
OK,

I bought these limbs from a Ganger.. on the 17 inch TD riser they make a 60 inch bow.  Spanish cedar limb veneers, santos rosewood limb wedges, with sheephorn tips

 

Then I got Dave and Beth to build a riser for me out of Midnight Ebony dymondwood (made of ebony, instead of maple or whatever most dymondwood is built from) with a stripe that mimicked the spanish cedar and santos rosewood in the limbs

 

60"- 61#@28"

I know you other Schafer recurve nuts will enjoy seeing more of Dave's work...the rest of you, just pardon our mush!   :bigsmyl:      :campfire:

Ray, you do NOT want to hunt with that bow.  Send it to me, and I will take care of it.  Somethings you just have to do for a friend, you do not have to thank me.

Thanks, Mel...I knew I liked you the minute we met. I'll turn her right around to you as soon as I get it Thursday, OK? NOT!!!!!!!!!!  :knothead:    :bigsmyl:  

I've named her Black Mamba. Hopefully that's the only one I will see while I am over there in SA.

That riser is awesome looking.  I love the sleek lines and can only imagine how good it must feel in the hand.  I can almost feel it looking at the picture.  That is a sweet looking stick!

probably the most understated bow I've ever had built. Guess old age and good sense are sneaking up on me. I really like the clean conservative look of the riser..you can't see in the picture but the midnight dymondwood DOES have some gradations in color and so its not exactly like phenolic...just tough to pick up in a photo...and the limbs will look like nothing in most of the places I hunt..completely disappear in fact...what more can you ask of a hunting bow?!!!
