Some BLING for my Molly (Done) Thanks.

[Mad Max]

I made a fiber glass Molly
62"NTN .300 stack
1-1/4" wide   3/16" at the tips

     
I had some turquoise that I pounded to sand and I left some course

     

I made a form and mixed it with smooth-on

     

This is what I got

     

Persimmon overlays
The tips are 3/16" wide and 5/8" at the tip (Static) fades

     

I put some reflex in the tips

     

The belly side painted

     

     

[Mad Max]

Copper head skins over black glass    :(  
It   looks OK to me

 

The form was 1-1/2" square tubing with a 1" block at each end for some reflex



Ran it threw the thickness sander to clean it up



Glued a pattern on for the tips



Sanded to the lines



That all for today

[Trux Turning]

Pretty cool Mark!!

Marf I assume your belly glass is seamless from grip to tip? Its hard to tell.

yes

On picture # 6 you can see the stack all the way to the nock
The belly wood for the static tips is glued to the belly glass

[Mad Max]

I cut and sanded layers of sitka spruce for the tip bellys,glued them up and back on the form and in the oven





Lay out of the handle is 7/8" wide



Sanded the spruce to the static profile and put a string on it


I used a piece of bow string and some wax to hold the string tight and pulled to full draw.
The string was still tight so I chased off some of the layers until I got some bend on them




I trapped the belly almost to a point.
when I put on the persimmon over lays it quit bending

[Mad Max]

I mixed more smooth-on and turquoise to make a arrow head for the loose ends of sinew on the handle wrap

[Wolftrail]

Really cool stuff.

[scrub-buster]

Nice work.  Thanks for posting the pictures.

[jess stuart]

Amazing!!  I love your work.

[Mad Max]

Full draw
I wish I had used a taper in the stack?
Just a little noisey, need some string silencers

Alright pathfinder, here you go.
31#&28"  305 grain arrow 167 fps. average

I like it, It was fun to build
     

Thanks for all the comments guy's.        
 

The arrow head came out nice


 

Persimmon riser
There is a power lam in the stack, longer than the riser. The riser is glued to the belly of the stack with (4)  1/4" hardwood pins drilled threw the back down into the riser

 

[SportHunter]

Neat build, mixing the old with the new.
