Here she is all prettied up and ready to hunt.

I'll have to wait to get a full draw pic up when momma gets home

I don't see skins on her Kris

Looks good though!

Stiks-n-Strings · January 23, 2012, 01:20:00 PM

She's a boo backed trilam with bloodwood core and osage belly. Pulls 51# @ 28" 66" tip to tip

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.

Cool! Looks real nice

StoneAK · January 23, 2012, 01:32:00 PM

Looks real nice Kris I love the mount in the back too!

Looks nice Kris.Do you work on bows 24/7?

Stiks-n-Strings · January 23, 2012, 01:43:00 PM

Not 24/7 but about 20/6 LOL

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.

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.

Stiks-n-Strings · January 23, 2012, 02:30:00 PM

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?

DVSHUNTER · January 23, 2012, 05:27:00 PM

Good looking bow tbere kris

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

Stiks-n-Strings · January 23, 2012, 06:14:00 PM

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.
