56" Static TD

Trux Turning · June 17, 2017, 07:29:00 PM

About a year ago I built this TD for a buddy of mine- he's been shooting it non stop since then. I figured it was time to make another one and add it to my collection.

I picked up some wood this spring but for the life of me I can't remember what it is- I do know it's not tiger wood.Since I had various pieces left over from other mosaic projects, I rounded them up and will use them in this riser. The riser is 13" long.

Good to see you back again Dave. I was worried you had found and entered a bowyer's rehab, you should know there is no cure for our affliction.
I can't wait to see this one come together it is going to be a real beauty. I have got to get around to trying one of those statics.

Oh and I can relate to not remembering the name of the wood. Seems it is getting harder to remember things all the time.

Sweet start.

Thanks guys- Jess no bowyers rehab either-lol.
I got the mosaics ground and fitted to the riser, I'll add some glue and get it all stuck together.

That's gonna be sweet Dave!!

Clamped and glued- just needs a little clean up...

Next thing I need to decide on is the glass and the core- I have black, green, 2 different browns and clear glass to choose from. I got to thinking about the clear and picked this red wood burl veneer to go with the boo core.

Cleaned up riser and lams- I think this will work well together...

Mad Max · June 20, 2017, 01:10:00 PM

Looking good David

I like the veneers

BenBow · June 20, 2017, 02:55:00 PM

Love redwood burl that's going to look rich

That's going to be a sweet looking bow! I'll be keeping an eye on this build along.

Got the limbs all glued up and have a riser- time to get a bow put together-

Trux Turning · June 26, 2017, 11:28:00 AM

Had to take a peek at the limbs- the red wood burl looks pretty good-

Trux Turning · June 26, 2017, 11:32:00 AM

Cut the limb pads on the riser- probably will use a different limb mounting system...
