Should be a great turkey bow, 2" shorter than my current bow. Shoots good for me too!! And the big plus, shoots same arras as my bow!!

Thanks, John! Couldn't be happier!

There ya go Roy-boy!  If ya have trouble readin it, call me and I'll school ya a little...

Looks great, I was hoping I'd get a look at it before heading out for the weekend. Nice work John and congratulations on getting a nice bow Kenny.

It looks good in your hands Kenny.  I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks everyone for the compliments, but I gotta give Kenny some credit too.  He's the guy that ground the lams.  And Ole Roy helped me decide on using the charcoal gray actionwood.

Great looking bow Kenny.  Be glad Roy did not call you for the schooling, that would make for a long long day, week, month, year and on and on and on.

Snow went on vacation for a couple of weeks Roy. It's coming home tonight. The professional idiots on the picture box are calling for 6-8" tonight and tomorrow. I think it's going all the way up to Kenny's neighborhood.

Great looking bow You made John. Good luck in the Turkey blind Kenny.

Whahooo the color combination looks so incredibly perfect- I`ve seen so many nice bows but I`m surprised once more...
GZ Kenny she`s really one of a kind! (But could you share a picture of her unstrung please AND hoe is that core treatened to show no noticeable difference to the sightlams- or is it all actionwood??)
Title: Re: My bow pics( built by JSweka)
Post by: jsweka on March 24, 2013, 10:57:00 PM
Moe - It was all actionwood.  Angle cut lams on the back and belly with a core of your typical vertical cut actionwood.

Rob - Thanks.  Yes, that was off your old form and used some of the glass I got from you too.  Lots of various Trad Gang mojo in that bow.
