Thinking it needs a longer riser?

What string length do you have on there, Kenny??

This was last week. I think this may be spalted walnut.

Lookin good Mike !!

It had a 55" string on it, I made one specifically for it a quarter inch longer 55.25" for the 58" bow.

I'm kinda busy but may try to grind a glass power lam and apply to belly one of these days. 

How much weight will that net, anybody?  I'm guessing 1-2 lb ?

Not sure it's gonna be all that. Plenty accurate, easy tune, but no quieter or faster than my D/R. Ah well...

  My 2 cents if you want more performance... It looks like she is bending pretty decent although it's kinda hard to tell because of your background...  (I wish all you guys would invest in a sheet of plywood and paint it white)    For now I'd forget about the glass power lams and shave a little off the width to get the bend you want and get rid of that dead weight on that last half of the limbs... That would be just like adding a power lam...  I think you got too much hook and the string needs to leave the limb a lot sooner... Next bow, I would build a bow just like your r/d but with hooks in it.... (more open hooks in it)

   Go with something that works... Your r/d works, just supercharge it with some hooks... As long as your hooks are not too big and your limbs are aligned straight you should not have a problem with torsional stability...

Put some Western Diamond Back skin sides (scrap pieces) on this narrow bow Yesterday and put a Rattan wrap on the grip today.


Rebecca Parker made the Neckless part for my Rattles

Looking good, Mark. Necklace too!   

 

The bow and necklace look awesome, Mark....

Shredd have ya bought any plywood lately.   

I saw the prices...      

   Ok guys...  Change of plans... 
   
   Just hang up a white bed sheet behind your bow...   

No body did nuffin today???????????????

I took a shot at a berry thieving squirrel.  Shot was perfect but the devil jumped the string.   Arrow is still somewhere in the raspberry patch.

I got my second haircut in a year and a half.   
I did find out today I have 2 hognose snake skins coming from Texas for "My old Locust Bow". 

Show them when you get them
The ones over here are not much to look at.

I sprayed soybeans and mowed CRP, more today...
