KennyM's Zebrawood Giveaway Bow...Finished!!

[Dimondback]

Hello All,
         A few months ago a fine fella named "KennyM", who you all are familiar with I am sure, had a "Zebrawood Lam" giveaway on this forum. I was lucky enough to win it and after finally getting set up after military deployment, I was able to put something together with it. This was my first R/D bow, all of the others I have made were just straight limbed long bows. Had a few issues along the way (botched the shaping of the fades on a solid zebra riser and ended up laminating some very old walnut that had been laying on my grandfathers shop for 25 years with the remaining zebra riser parts). Other than cutting the limbs a little shorter that intended (Blame Clemson math) the build went well and I am hunting with it now. I will show you the build!

THANKS KENNY! Another order coming soon!!!!!

Cooking it up!



Fresh out of the form.



Cleaning up the sides on the sander...



Rough Shaping the riser...rasp and file work...

I put a little too much "curve" into the grip area than I intended to but it is still comfortable to shoot. It is really hard to put wood back on after you have rasped it off...
