Here are a couple of bows I just finished using some fine zebra wood lams from Kenny McKenzie. I have purchased a number of laminations from Kenny and they all have been 1st rate .
Both bows are 50 in . with wenge risers , actionboo cores , and zebra wood veneers.

Dang Bill, those are sweet lookin bows! Well done!!
Kenny sold me some really nice scales for osage knives too. Good guy.
WOW Bill,you done those bows up proud!! Excellent! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Awesome looking bows! Kenny's lams are first rate for sure.
Kenny, have you sold any of the canarywood lams yet? Any photos of what it looks like under glass? Thanks, Marty
Haven't done any canary lams at all yet. Need to find out if it stays yellow instead of darkening like osage.
I think I'm gonna find out for both of us soon. Standby!
Hey Bill,would you have any more pics,braced,full draw? I like the looks of those!

NICE!!Reverse tip taper? Looks sweet Bill!!
Amazing bows! The reverse tapers are excellent.
Kenny do you cut those laminations yourself?
Hi Brad,
Yep,you can look at some of em here.....

Nice website Kenny and great products. I like that first buck you got with your 55# longbow...what a moster for the first buck.
Next up on my list is to build a R/D similar to the style above..hopefully they will turn out half as nice!
Can anyone tell me where they obtain their arrow rests (like the ones attached to the bows in the pics above)...they appear to be suede and many fo the bows on these sites have the shapes.
I never saw a retailer carry those....but maybe someone can point me in the right direction...or do you just cut them yourself and use barge cement to attach.
Thanks!!
Thanks Brad, those rests might be velcro(the soft part. Bill will tell ya for sure.
Brad , the rests I like to use are calf hair on the side and sealskin on the rest ( 3 Rivers sells both).
Kenny, I like to use reverse tapers on the short bows to reduce string angle and finger pinch.
Bill
:thumbsup: Thats what I thought!
Bill these pics are killing me, I can't wait till the bow gets to me. I actually have a very nice buck picked out that I hope will be it's first victim. You're gonna have to make the two hour trip and let me put you on a nice buck as additional payment for the bow. Kennym's lams and Bill's work are phenominal.
Thanks,
Jake
Patience Jake,you will love these bows both of mine are great shooters.
