Lets see your Kenny M longbow

bjansen · July 22, 2010, 08:41:00 AM

Lets face it Kenny has a great longbow form and people all over the world are making that bow. It would be nice to see all the different styles and variations..I'll start with my latest bow. I had some zebra and grey actionwood so I put them together. Its 50# @ 28" about 63" and I glued it up before X mas. Overlays just about everywhere you can put them an a flat TB finish. I also added some Pierce Points in the handle when joining the zebra and actionwood.

That's got to be the prettiest one I've seen in a long time! Great job Brad!

thats a great looking bow, I really like the wood choice, and Brad's usual attention to finish...just hoping the new dress code for showing bows doesn't catch on;)

Ha ha...It won't that is for sure!

Very nice as usual Brad, you are quite the craftsman.

Also, I had some info that I wanted to share regarding building a kids bow on Kenny's form. A friend of mine recently used my form and glued up a 2" wide blank, ripped it in the middle and made two 52", 7/8" wide at the fades, 20# @20" kids bows. He used brown glass, 3x .45 parallel maple lams and a 14" riser. They look and shoot pretty nice.

thanks for sharing.

Would someone be able to tell me where to get the directions for creating a Kenny M form?

Thanks Gents!

Sometimes you don't have to look very far!

Robertfishes · July 23, 2010, 04:16:00 PM

I have built three R/D's using the 64"template from KennyM, I am a self taught hobby bow builder that learned from reading posts and build-a-longs..first pic is the one I built for my friends 16 year old daughter a couple of months ago, she has been shooting a bow for at least 10 years. She loves her new R/D bow!

Robertfishes · July 23, 2010, 04:20:00 PM

this pic is the first one off of the form, I built it for my fiance Helen Feb 2010, she has set several state records with it shooting field type of shoots.

Robertfishes · July 23, 2010, 04:30:00 PM

this is my bow 47 @ 28" santos rosewood veneers, actionboo tapers, shedua riser. I reshaped the grip after I took these pics..
