Just beautiful !
Very nice!!
I dunno.. It could be ok, I guess... :) But if your gonna throw it away or burn it, then just send her to me please? :)
Nice!!! I'm diggin the shelf extension.
Looks great Soy! What's the specs on it? And what are the overlays? That's some beautiful wood!
Soy! Nice bow man!
BTW you one of them lefties who shoots right handed?
Looking good. :)
Looks really nice,I like the detail on the shelf extension and snake skin just seems to go well with everything.
Nice detail on the bow Soy. Tiller looks great.
pretty nice soy
Thanks guys :goldtooth: the core lams are a-boo & walnut the riser is walnut with a phenolic I beam The overlays are clear glass walnut and Myrtle, the rest extension is cut from the riser block of the trade bow I'm building which is Myrtle Gabon ebony and walnut...and the skins are prairie rattler...it is 65.5 ntn and the weight is yet to be determined

Thanks and no I'm rh.....a friend out grew the pants that is why the fade is on the lh pocket if that is why u ask :laughing:
Classy, my friend!
Good looking bow Soy.
WELL DONE! And my kind of bow.
I think it is a real beauty. Great job
very pretty indeed- pretty skin, when i first looked- i thought it was carbon :knothead:
really cool!!! :thumbsup:
is there an advantage to all the lams being on the back- just the laying up- or are there performance advantages?
The lam going the riser is hard to see but it is there :readit:
oops sorry- i thought they were all up the back- sorry mate.
i have seen some on here done like that- wonder if it does make a difference
i see it now!!- blind ol'fart!! :knothead:
No worrys I was just mentioning it as they are the same wood and blend together well....as far as on top of stack ,I have done it...although that one has encountered some issues....I shot a hha big five this weekend that was riser on top of stack and trapd belly ...I did not notice anything night and day about it other than the cosmetic aspect...
cool, would be a lot easier to glue up.
must say though- for me- i prefer the aesthetics of the lam going up the ramp!
I do also...for the most part, I wonder if the small amount that it is up when atop the riser would promote torquing....I would guess the more you go toward the back the less torque Aka reverse handle Hills
Nice bow soy! You did a great job!
That's a nice one. I like what you did with the shelf. It looks good
Very stylish.
I like it.
Thanks so very much for the kind words :archer:
Looks sharp really like the arrow shelf.
Thad, I told you I'd pick it clean, but I just don't see anything wrong with it!
Very nice job! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Very nice!!
Nice looking bow Soy. The skins look great, how did you attach them to the bow? Epoxy or something else?
Thanks!
For the skins I used tb3
