Man! that looks sharp Ritchie. The African Blade Burner is going to look awesome with finish on it.

Brad thats Mozambique as Flem alluded to its dense wood Im going to finish it with vinyl sealer & pre cat lacquer, still need to lose a lot of weight on the riser should make it look pretty sexy when done now I just need another rain day  :laugh:

Just a couple final thoughts on this bow before I close out the thread unless any body has any questions , but by far the 68" D/R is the smoothest & most accurate out of all the bows built in this thread it's just a amazing target/3D/hunting bow my over all thoughts on all these designs is the FHLB is the perfect blind hunting bow & the D/R is the perfect Stand hunting bow ,I'm going to go on and exsperment with different FF strings with all these bows ,Thanks for every body's input & help especially to Kenny for his patient Help  :cheesy: any body who is new to the bow making game the D/R is probably a good choice for a first bow , Kenny has the build a long on his site and it's a strait forward build !!!

Got a chance today to carve and shoot this one a bit more & chrono the numbers this bow is my new favorite very versital bow looking forward to taking it to Texas with my brother for a pig hunt it likes both light and heavy arrows Im going to see about working up some Douglas fir arrows for it , out of all the Kenny designs I think the D/R is the most versital hunter !

Im going to pork somthing with it 🙄 Mike its pulling about 30 1/2 on this one , carbon in it , Flem Im slowly cleaning it up as I shoot finding little spots that need carving but this 68" is really user friendly I botched a few releases and some how the arrow finds its way to where your aiming, I left a little more heft in the riser on this one seems to help Im at 50lb 30 1/2" might drop another 2 pounds but its shooting so well just might leave it !

Got the 68" finished today 4 coats vinyl sealer and 6 coats Pre cat lacquer , the iPhone pics don't do it justice it's really a preety combo in person the green glass on the dark wood ,I'm going to give it a coat of ceramic car wax , this vinyl sealer & pre cat lacquer is a tuff finish the car wax was Flems idea I just up graded it to ceramic wax !

Your not going to get anything else done while your admiring and fondling that beauty!
Nice job for sure :thumbsup:

Forwardhandle

Thanks Flem it does have a sweet feel it just kinda goes to the right position as soon as you put presure on the string I'm going to try to give the grey ghost one the same treatment tomorrow also going to order a can of pre cat lacquer sealer I was reading about it not necessary but adds protection and puts the finish on par with convertion varnish !
