zebrawood,amberboo and a bunch of glass

[Robertfishes]

I am Building Helen a new target bow, we talked about what her needs were and I came up with this...24 layers of glass in the riser for weight and 66" long..which is taller than she is.. I e-mailed kennym and ordered some actionboo tapers and parallels, UL glass to go with the other materials I already had on hand. Got it glued up Tuesday night..I got a string on it earlier today to see where I was at, so far it's 52#s @ 28" and 1/8" tiller, after sanding the edges it should be arround 45 @ 28"..fades are longer than the glass, I glued a 22 inch long piece of amberboo onto the glass riser for the fade ends and power lam.

Riser really looks great!

24 layers of glass in the riser - WOW!

I don't think I'd hav the patience to glue that much stuff together.

[Dmaxshawn]

Looks good Robert.

This one is shaping up to be a looker!! Those lams are awesome-can't wait to see the finished bow.

[GREG IN MALAD]

That looks great and the veneer is stunning. I have been thinking about putting more weight in my risers but I don't think I have the patience to work with that much glass.

[kennym]

SWEET!

As said before, I'd have trouble with patience with that many pieces!

Great lookin bow!

That zebra has me salivating!!

Thanks for posting.  Hope to see more of this bow.

[Robertfishes]

got to work on the bow again today, got tips and riser roughed in.  

[SportHunter]

That bow is going to be sharp looking when complete.

[Bodork]

[Trux Turning]

[Greg Szalewski]

[Robertfishes]

thanks for the nice words..I think it will be a nice one for Helen. I just shot it with the 2nd coat of spar urethane..gonna wait a couple of minutes and shoot a few more coats every 15 minutes..my dehumidifiers on high in the spray room

[Robertfishes]

I made this on on my 62/64" kennym design form, Helen wanted 66"bow so i made stack a little thicker than the 64"stack, bow is 1.40" at it's widest point and .625 wide at string grouves ... specs are 66 inch long,cut 3/16 past center(should be OK.. lots of glass in riser!) 46#s at 28" gonna put it on scale later today.. seems to have very good cast                  

[kennym]

That is a knockout job Robert!

I'd think the riser is about bulletproof!

[Trux Turning]

Outstanding job on that one! I bet it does shoot nice.

[Apex Predator]

Wow, great job bud!

[Zbearclaw]
