I don't see skins on her Kris  :)  Looks good though!

Decided not to skin it Ryan. To narrow and would lose to much pattern. I dyed the back with alcohol dye and steel wooled it to darken up the boo a bit.

That is an excellent bow Kris. I love how you brought all those colors together through the riser and in the tip overlays.  Neeter than a skeeters.....well you know.
I humbly follow in the learned footsteps of those who precede me.

Looks very nice Kris, Is it straight limbed? Could you share demensions of what your lams are? I have some from KennyM that are ready to glue up and you hit the weight range I'm looking for.  Thanks Todd

Another nice one Kris. I'm not used to seeing so many successful bows from you! d;^)  Either your wife or your "Lil" buddy must be building them.
Make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes!

I think I figured out it is bad joo joo for me to post pics of them before they are shooting Pat. I've been on a pretty good run lately.

Was that your first trilam bow? How difficult was it?

That is just down right good.  Love the colors and profile.  I will probably be talking to you again real soon.  Great looking bow Kris

Just give me a holler Charles.

Citycop, it was my first trilam but not to difficult really. I glued it up on 2x4 form and used innertubes to clamp it. I glued in 1.5 inch of reflex and she settled with about 3/4" string follow.

I just used the boo a 1/16th full length slat of blood wood and a 1/2" full length osage 1/4 sawn slat.
