My attempt at a 21st Century
« on: December 20, 2015, 08:37:00 PM »
This is a bow I just finished using a Jim and Buddy 21st century "Nova" "Lone Star" for a profile copy. It ended up as 64" and 46# @ 28". It's a Kingwood riser with English Yew veneers on the back, black glass on the belly. I have 2 lams of vertical flooring bamboo and 1 black uni-weft lam. Very pleased with the way this one shoots.  

       
     

     

   

Jim and Buddy original on the left. I made my own variations in the riser to suit.

Gordon, I did not reverse the tapers as the original Jim Plone design. It shots very well as it is, however, I may try the reverse taper in my next one. This one has one parallel, and one .002 taper to the tip.

Thanks all for the compliments.

Hey Tony, hope your season is going well, and Merry Christmas. See you in March.
