my new bow 'Ham'mertime!
« on: September 11, 2010, 03:11:00 PM »
Finally made myself a new bow. Been shooting my old one for about three or four years and figured it was time for a change.
 This bow is made from Kennym's 62-64" form plans. He also supplied the glass and laminations. I told him what I was hoping for and he nailed it!
 The riser is macassar ebony footed with east indian rosewood. The accent stripes are osage and cocobolo.  Limbs are amber actionboo under black glass. Tips and overlays are macassar ebony,osage,cocobolo,osage,and east indian rosewood.
 The bow is 62" n.t.n and pulls 52#@28". After I had sprayed the finish, a friend pointed out to me that I had inked the bow at 60"  :o   Guess I'll just live with the typo because I really don't want to sand it down and re-ink it!

I wouldn't expect any less than first class from you. that is just one fine piece of work there. Simply stunning is simplicity and form. Great work Mike. Truly great. I'd like to see a pic of the front though. PS : I am personally partial to black glass and showing the beauty and class in workmanship. Those tipe are outstanding. God bless you and make some good memories with that bow. Steve

Thanks Steve!  I guess I didn't take any pictures of the front. Here is what I have. I will take some more after I run some errands.

WOW  :jumper:   I like your taste in woods.  Grip looks nice.  How about a full lenght strung and unstrung?  I can't quite see the full shape.
