Title: Tribute to "the lam man"
Post by: critman on March 13, 2014, 10:51:00 PM
This is the bow made from materials from my last order from 'ole Kenny. 64" NTN 40#@28. Green Mtn Camo A-wood in riser and limbs.  This one is the first mild R/D build using my latest form.

I hate to be a pest. But it looks like the outer third portion of the limbs are a tad stiff....  :rolleyes:  
It is a well constructed bow.

Wolftrail, I will take that as a compliment. I am just glad that at least the last third is still stiff  :biglaugh:

Kenny is also the "Template" man..I bought his 62/64 D/R longbow template and made this form. I experimented some and found that I could build a super sweet 66" bow using the same form.     (http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt46/Robertfishes/firstlongbowdryrun.jpg) (http://s596.photobucket.com/user/Robertfishes/media/firstlongbowdryrun.jpg.html)

Nice job!!

If you think you want a little more flex at the tips, you can just add a little thickness taper on the next one!  :D

This is a timely thread for me.  I snuck this order in just in time and the bow is in progress now.
