Title: My Swap bow
Post by: Dmaxshawn on March 15, 2010, 03:04:00 PM
This is a first for me so its taking me a while to get things done correctly and ordering all the materials I will need.  I will try and get the limbs drilled and fitted to the bow this week at night after work.  

Well Photobucket isnt working for me so I post the whole page its the first four pics.  Thanks for looking.

Heres the link to the finished bow its ready for shipment to PA and will be sent off to its new owner.  Sorry it took so long but its trukey season and I just had to get one.  Plus this is my first 3 piece take down bow and I had to do alot of head scratching.  

Now for the riser its a piece that Brad was kind enough to give me and I thought I would use it in return for the swap because its going to another TG'er.  Its block of Sappelle, Padauk and Purpleheart with phenolic limb pad angles and black glass and nicaracuain cocobolo over lays to match the limb veneers.  

The bow is 60 inches and 56 lbs @ 28 with red elm cores and wedges thanks to Kenny M.

Enjoy

I cant get the pics to load so heres the link its the first four pics.
