Finished another set of Engraved Limb Bolts
« on: April 14, 2013, 10:45:00 AM »
I just finished these bolts this morning. I have some ideas about creating a small plate with the bezel cut in to allow for more artistic freedom around the bolt. Some plates will be low profile and some raised a bit with caps flush or use various size or shapes above. I have it in my head and soon from my minds eye to your eyes. I'm curious about the interest this may have in our tradbow community. Please let me know your thoughts.

Holy Cow, those are nice.  I know I'd be interested if they were offered to the public.

Hi Kenn,

I've long thought that limb bolts/knobs are the most ignored part of a td bow. Monty Dunaway once gave me a set of engraved brass bezels, and the effect they had on my bow was really nice. Subtle and classy. I'm glad to see you step these up to a very high level. Your skills make you just the guy to do it.

When you're ready....I'm all in!

I would love a set, I assume you could make them work with an ILF set-up as well. It would be nice to have a knurled knob like that so you would not need a allen wrench! Like most things it would depend on the cost these days! Shawn

I don't see these on your web site yet. I think it's a great idea - much more compact than antler knobs. Any idea yet where you would price them?

Very nice.

What do those weigh in comparison to standard bolts?

I agree with Kevin and the "ignored" limb bolt/knob. Those look to have a hole in them perpendicular to the shaft. Is that for a tool insert to tighten?
I'd be interested to know the price "possibilities".

Man that's awesome, where do you get the blanks before you get to engraving.  Do you turn your own?

Very nice work and they will sell at any price. Let us know when they are available. Maybe my takedown bow building skills will be to that standard when they are available.

These limb bolts I purchased from Black Widow. I have plans to build my own as I have several different designs in mind.
 Tom, the holes are for using and instrument to snug the bolts up more than hand tightening. I am thankful for the interest, this is important to understand to determine what path to go. Input is great and I can't wait to get started on designs that no one has seen yet. The ones I'm making next will have a removeable cap over the standard flange bolt that will be drilled and tapped to accept a screw from the cap and or my bow quiver. The quiver is dead quiet and very strong. Done with the hunt, remove the quiver and add the decorative cap. I'm sorry not to include pricing as this is all new and the variables/time to make consuming. I will put these out to the public in the near future, lots of developement and time needed to bring it public. Pricing will be offered most likely in 3 increments from simple to complex designs with quotes for custom work done from sketchs or drawings. I can usually work from a budget offering ideas based off of that budget. To the top shelf minded the sky is the limit. I can use steel and add gold inlay and more. Just wait!! My idea is to add gun engraving quality and content to our bows.

Bladepeek, not on my website because this is all so new. I've been thinking about this for a very long time, and the time is now to see where it goes. Thank you for the kind words and inspiration to push a little further.
