Tracy
Looks fantastic! On my to build list....
Very nice! What is the lam on the back?
Great work again Tracy. You've got em nailed down now.
Can you share with us some specs on the bow? Lamination thickness and what weight you came up with?
Thanks and I will get you some better picks and specs/mesurements after work today.
The bow is 68" tip to tip and 50# @ 28, I would have marked it on the bow but I have a shoot this weekend and when I get back I plan on putting 3 more coats of Spar varnish on it.
Tracy
Great Job as usual Tracy! :thumbsup:
Beautiful bow - a work of art!
Sweet bow Tracy!!

That boys got talent!!! Good job Buddy! :thumbsup:
Another great looking bow Tracy
I was able to spend the day shooting with K.S.TRAPPER yesterday. This bow is whisper quite with no string silencers. And Osage and Bamboo just look great together.
I'm sure some Kansas Monster will be in some serious trouble come fall. Great job on this one Tracy.

Tracy
That's a SPECTACULAR looking bow!
Seeing these pics is really driving me to want to build a double-shelf.
I can hear the Mrs. now, though... "Finish that rack so we won't have all these bows sitting around the house... What do you need another bow for?"
Summer project coming up!
Keep up the excellent work!
That's a beauty!
Fantastic! Your last one pushed me to build one and I sent her to a new home. Seeing this one make me want to build another one.
The tips are some of the best I've seen.
Perfect tiller, beautiful bow. Love the simplicity and elegance of these bows. Excellent Job!
Kris
Tracy, you have created another nice one there.
It will get better with age.
i would love to see the whole prosses...that is a very well made bow...john
Beautiful Bow,Can't wait till you share your build along.
Are you using tapered lams or parallel so you can scrape the belly like building a self bow ?
Very nice.. Tracy whats ya mean by natural bamboo and how thick is the boo backing, and did you belly taper the boo?
