My bow for 2014 BLOODED!!

[kennym]

Built my 2014 bow a little early this time.

Had a set of cool walnut lams I couldn't sell because of a couple knotholes about 1/4" , open holes not just knots....

So I patched with some sawdust ground off a scrap of same piece by taping the back, tamping sawdust in the open knot and soaking with CA(superglue)

Here are some pics after much sanding, spraying, and watching it come off the hanger and fall in the sawdust on floor!! LOL

   

   

   

The hole patched with sawdust and CA and ground as usual....

You can see a little sanding marks on patch, next time I'll handsand with 150 on patch...

   

A limb pic, not bad for a gray board the kiln guy gave me for free!! LOL

Full draw(almost) 17* out, brrrr

   

And first  3 at 20 yds at the 3D target, it shoots same arrows as my 48# recurve. Bareshafted perfect with a little nock adjustment!!

Oh yeah, she is a 64" D/R of my own design, pulls 50.31 @28"

Still needs final sanding and resprayed, has a bit of sawdust in finish where she fell off the hanger!! LOL

Think she will do nicely for this year.....

That's a beauty!  Congrats.  Keep up the great work.

[Hermon]

Man, if it were 50.33# I would try to buy it off you!  Nice bow!  Beautiful lams.

Looks good......  

[Thumper Dunker]

Real nice.

[Interseptor]

Kenny, she is awesome!

[Stumpkiller]

Those knotholes may be a safety concern in the layup.  You'd better send it to me for five years of longevity testing before you risk yourself.        Shoot straight.

Another awesome bow Kenny!

I have been working on a blank I got 3 years ago...not being a particularly competent or ambitious woodworker that bow has lots of imperfections...the thing is the bow is more mine than any of the ones I did not have a hand in building...I just decided today I am fine with that

That thing must throw a real hook to hit that deer like that facing 90 degrees from it.        

Love it buddy. That's a beauty for certain.

[Dmaxshawn]

THats a sweet bow BUd.  I like those veneers,  and I already know its a great shooter.

[NIGEL01]

wOW!

[South MS Bowhunter]

Great looking bow Kenny as usual!

[Holm-Made]

Very nice, Kenny.  Love the color in that Walnut.  I like the styling you did on the riser, under the grip.  BTW it's warming up to about -17 during the day here so don't complain.       Chad

[Caughtandhobble]

She's a beauty, with character  

[kennym]

Thanks guys! I was thinkin brown glass and some primer camo before these lams sawed out with a hole in em!!

Cuz I really needed a 50ish x 64" D/R...
