Title: Actionwood
Post by: D.A. Davis on October 18, 2010, 01:36:00 PM
Does anybody have any pictures of bows made with the Green Mountain Camo and Nutmeg Brown Actionwood?  I'm trying to make my final choices for the materials for my next two bows, and just need some inspiration.  Thanks.

I dont have any pics of any bows made out of this but camo is a good looking actionwood. the cross grain camo veneers look real good with an camo actionwood handle.
- Nice bows guys

I used walnut dymondwood for this riser, for risers I like the mass weight of dymondwood over actionwood..  (http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt46/Robertfishes/3rdbowwalnut.jpg)

A very nice looking couple of bows.  On the other hand there is dymondwood that is very similiar to the actionwood.  It is layered up the same but denser and heavier.  You should check out rrpwhite.com for colors.

This is my first bow using the brown.  I bought it from KennyM.  I like it!

Here is my third prototype of my "Wassaw".  She is 60" NTN and draws 53@28.  I'm liking this one, and think I may have the final version worked out.  Lot's of shooting ahead, and hopefully a kill this weekend!  What do my buddies think?
