Hey fellas, encouraged by the big interest in my recent short bow discussion I`m asking you again about the following bow I`m on at the moment.
It`s grown in length due to a longer, heavier riser but with it`s 58" unstrung still within the 60th.
String stays off the limb at 8 1/2" as it`s supposed to but I`m about to loose patience for a clean finish     :rolleyes:  
I`m looking forward for some kind words and friendly criticism to get the extra "patience-boost" I need to get the job at 100% done.  

(at the end I post a link to another board with more pics and for those who can`t see any in here)

     
   
   
   
   
 
Thanks in advance friends!

sweet looking bow, and with that high a brace it should be pretty easy to shoot:).

I really, really like that bow!  I shoot one with a giant brace height, and I find that shorter ones give so much string slap it cuts after a while.  Also, that's an excellent combo of woods.  What are they, btw?

Thanks guys!
Yes Caleb, smooth to shoot while hitting hard^^
The woods are satinwood and shedua in the riser and bubinga (african -not south american- rosewood called too, I think).

Very nice, Moe.

Nice! Have you got a full draw picture? That riser is wild looking.

Not jet David- I`ll take one later, but the baby tries to eat my cam when I set it on timetrigger so she`ll have to go to bed first...
Kids...the earth`s salt   :D

Stop showing off! That bow is wicked cool. Bowyers like you make want to give up and start knitting or something. Really nice design and craftsmanship. Well done Moe

Sry Sire- it`s not finished at all (60/80 grit)  
But thank you guys!

As the kids are sleeping- beer for me draw for you^^
 
 
 
And the    source page

Hope you enjoy!

note:
The beer btw. is *Augustiner Hell* for sure one of munichs (and maybe world`s) top 5 lager!

Very nice, slightly more thickness taper might bring the string off the limbs at a slightly lower brace height. Looks great though.

Man...that is sweet Moe! It's amazing how a frosty beverage enhances one's patience and creativity.  

WOW.................Very neat design and workmanship. Bet that thing will fling an arrow.

Very nice bow!

I agree with Little Ben. More taper or a Power lam to move the bend away from the riser would get you a lower brace height. Love your design and creative work!

How much taper do you have in the limbs currently?

I used a 2mm/m- same as 0,02"- but I`m thinking about 2" glass p-lam or 0,03" taper as well.

Btw. the riser design I came across last TG serverdowntime over an add- saw similar at "Brooks Bows"...
first it was planed like blacktailbows style^^

I guess it's Ok:)

Damn Roy when YOU guess it is OK then I`m sure it IS^^

Moem that makes me want to try something similar . Just love the lines and the wood choices, very very nice, it floats my boat!
