New Riser options for the Two Tracks LongWalker
« on: June 30, 2012, 07:37:00 AM »
I just thought I would share some pictures of a New Riser option that I have put into a few Longwalkers this summer. This lay-up allows me to use my I-Beam riser with out the "stripe" going down the center of the grip. It also allows me to use more Glass or Phenolic in the riser for added strength and stiffness. I think the looks are pretty good as well. Let me know what you think. Thanks for looking.

I love the grey Sycamore and the Curly Ash!  :thumbsup:  

I think there will be another Two Tracks in my future. Great work as usual Chuck!

Looks great Chuck. I agree with Rob, that sycamore and curly ash are great lookers. Those risers look great. Really show off your workmanship and attention to detail, even more.That is some of the best finish work I've seen.  :thumbsup:

I've always been a fan of curly maple, but that curly ash is just fantastic.

I just came back in from the shop to grab my camera, Seems that I need to try something new with an Ambush riser this morning. Stay tuned for that.

Thanks for the remarks guys, I wanted to say that the 3 riser on top have 3 Main riser laminations plus the "Saddle"
The bottom 2 have 5 lams plus the saddle.
All of them have the obvious accent lams added.

This configuration allows me to offer a higher grip option on the Longwalker.

The Curly Maple bow looks really nice but as the picture shows and a few have mentioned, That curly Ash is super. I think KHalverson likes it.

Very very nice. I like the looks of the bottom one, no the next one up, no the next one up from that one lol. They all look great.

Walnut gives it a soft look, like gun stocks.

Beautiful bows, but that Curly Ash is just awesome!

Well Done Chuck!    :clapper:

Don't forget OB Kevin. His Mermaid got a fresh tune up laid on to her and now he is ready to take on all comers from what I hear.

FYI, Khalverson Got the Curly Ash(that everyone seems to like so guard it with your life KH), and His buddy Big Mike has the Grey Sycamore, I forget Mikes Handle but he is a T-ganger.

As always, Thanks for looking and the nice comments,
