This is the same specs as the LD bow that hit the scene a year later







A little sanding and 8 coats of Tru Oil and looks like new.

Beautiful work, Bjorn. A perfect length and weight bow. Is there an advantage to using Tru Oil over, say, FullerPlast? How does the bow shoot compared to other years?  Mike

Very nice Bjorn !! I bet it shoots as good as it looks.

Bjorn

Mike, Fullerplast is great if you have a spray room and respirator, with the Tru Oil you just wipe it on. I use a paper towel, some use just their fingers.
As far as shooting goes, if there is a difference between the 56-58 KS, it is not evident to me-they are all wonderful shooting and hunting bows. The design was spot on in all the lengths offered.

Congrats for your refinishing work.I find the Ks of those years very appealing and better lookers than the Kodiaks. Is there any difference in how they compare?

Colin and Dick good to hear from ya'!
Ishi, I tried the spray once and had drying problems; but it could have been the wood-need to try it again.
Hi Felix, it is hard to beat the early KS, in my mind anyway, 1955-1958 produced some truly great hunting bows.

Great job Bjorn. I have a LH 1957 KS and really love the way it handles and shoots.

I agree with everyone else on these years.

1958-60 KS is a beautiful bow to shoot and one of the more elegant bows to look at.
For me, it just doesn't seem suited to broadheads and blood and being banged around.
