Two Tracks "Longwalker" Blank - Finished!
« on: February 16, 2011, 10:34:00 PM »
I recieved a Longwalker blank from Chuck at Two Tracks a while ago and finally got around to working on it.  I am sorry I do not have any before or during pics but here are some of the finished product.

It has a Che-chin riser with bamboo limbs and black glass.  I added the zebra overlay and thumbrest as well as the tip overlays. Did the final shaping and finish. Came in at 60" 52@28.  Great design Chuck has that shoots very smooth and is as quiet a bow as I have ever shot!

A very satisfying and extremely fun project.  I recommend it to anyone who can block out a little time to tackle it.  

(Mods if this is not the right spot or needs deleted I understand)

Thanks everyone!  It really is a fun project and Chuck produces a fine blank at a very fair price.  He even took some time to answer my questions and help me through a couple parts of the process.  What is nice about it is most all the hard parts are done for you, well at least the parts I could screw up on     ;)

Tom- the product is made by Deft and is a clear satin poly in a rattle can.  I was very impressed with it and it was easy to use.  I held the can further away on the last coat to give it a little texture to the finish.

The whole process took only a few weeks but I only worked on it on a few spare evenings and a little on the weekends.  It really took shape pretty quick.  The bulk of the work was shaping the grip and thumb rest once the overlays were on.

I definately see another blank in my future.
