Title: second build complete (pic heavy)
Post by: Hill Hunter on October 04, 2012, 12:47:00 PM
Well here is number 2, came out 60" long 59@28"
used a riser and Lams form Troy Bredding, Birdseye maple limbs, Wenge and Lace wood riser, moose antler accents.
another learning experience, the 60 inch bow is a result of learning to be careful with the sander.
I do not like the tips and will thin the antler more in the future.

Very nice bow. If I ever get house projects done Iam going back to building a bow. My hardest part was building the form, it didn't come out to well. Any tips on building form?

That combo turned just as nice as I expected. When you told me how you were going to use the riser blocks and venners together I couldn't wait to see the final results.
