Working on a new bow. This is Padauk and brown and black Actionwood. It also has a 1/8" peice of red Phenolic but its hard to see with the Padauk.

Nice job Stacy!!
That's gonna pop when you spray it!!
Lookin good. Need to build me a Kenny M form, I love the shape of them bows.
cant wait to see it all purdied up.
Thanks for the compliments! Yes Kenny's plan is a great one!
You had to go and do it didn't you... Your Hill bow build in TBM got me into this mess. Now I suppose I'll have to build Kenny's design. Thanks a bunch Stacy

Ben you'll love this design its fast but still very easy to shoot!
When designing, I first looked for the easy shooting, the decent speed was a bonus. Tho I'd like to claim to be a rocket scientist bow designer. :scared:
Nice bow

It did take me about 8 or 9 years to get it where I liked it. So its apparent I'm not too sharp or just too picky. :D :scared:
Everybody always says you are a quick learner Kenny. :p
Cool. Love to see pictures of the full bow, unstrung, strung, and full draw.

Here's a pic with the shinny knocked off it.I haven't decided if i, putting a leather grip or not. I ran through all my wife's old purses so id have to buy some leather somewhere :dunno:
Not to crazy about the diamond/coreflex wood but I like the way you used it on the belly
Nice

Thanks, it was an easy way for me to have a two tone riser without having a planer. I could just take the two best sides and glue them together.

Thanks for the additional pictures. Looks nice. Did you stick with Kenny's design exactly or did you modify it a little. Reason I ask is because it looks like it has less R/D then other bows made from Kenny's pattern.
Nice bow, what are the stats..? Or did I miss a post.
No I stuck to his design. Maybe because its a 62? Its got excellent speed. 52#@28"62" bow. His form is great!
Dave check the unstrung pic on the first page
Stacy, if you left the limbs full width a bit farther to pick up a couple # , the tips are most likely showing less reflex from the usual?
That's my only theory. :)
Yes I did what you said and started the taper a little later to grab a couple of pounds. Could be it but it shoots very quick!
Nice looking bow and it sounds like it's a real shooter. Good job!
