We put one together for my bro and huntin buddy,John.
Coco riser with 2 .050" black glass strips in a canine,cept it ended up bein a tusk cause we had to shave the limbs a little narrow due to a slippage prob. Also caused us to make it a 62" bow to get weight he wanted. Came out 50# at 27",stained curly maple limbs,coco riser with black glass accents, he did the shaping to suit himself. I think it looks really good(there is a couple dry spots in finish still)

Very nice Kenny. Thanks for sharing. Flint
nice lookin bow mate.
Outstanding Kenny!! I like the stained curly maple.
Thanks guys! I'm likin the stained maple myself a lot!!
Very nice Kenny. What type of stain did you use on the lams? I am impressed with this bow. Lots of tricks used on this one.
Hi Greg,
We used some lockwood dye that I bought from Binghams about 2 years ago. Silver grey first,then walnut.
Mixed with hot water and brushed on,then blotted off with a clean cloth.
We had to lay them under a board with weight to keep em flat,then put in the hotbox on low heat to dry.
Kenny those are some awesome veneers. Didn't you post a picture a while back of a new style R/D bow you had made? If so do you have a picture of it unstrung? I am making a new form with a lot more reflex and deflex in it. Just hope I have not gone to far. It might become a recurve. LOL
Hey Jeff,
Here ya go,this is the original off the same form:

Kenny supplies some awesome exotics. Give his website a look. I recently got some amazing Bocote from him.
Beautiful bow, Kenny. The wood combo is outstanding and I love the circular full draw pic.
Thanks guys!
Pat,that is the reasoning in my design. Utilizing the whole limb,it may just be the sweetest shooting bow I've ever made!!
Another beauty Kenny! You have quite an eye for color matching.
