Hey Kenny, when are you going to stop playing around with scrap wood and start making your victim a decent bow?

kennym · February 24, 2020, 03:40:26 PM

Just trying to use up some of these things I can't throw out... Selfish huh?

Those look good Bue!

Kenny, that's gonna make a good look'n riser. Looks like the grip is gonna be set forward some.

Kenny, that scrap wood looks nice, should make a smashing riser.

So what does a pile of "scrap" wood go for Kenny?

kennym · February 25, 2020, 03:45:02 PM

A thousand?

There have been quite a few bows built from scraps here...

Kenny, I just noticed how you used the cut off pieces to clamp against your limb pads. Great idea!

kennym · February 26, 2020, 11:33:24 AM

kennym · February 26, 2020, 11:48:26 AM

Very nice Kenny! I'm liking what you have started! You might have to put a scrap bucket section on your website, I think it would sell.

kennym · February 26, 2020, 08:52:42 PM

That .020 zebra on the back of riser was a critter to get on there with the curves!!

thanks guys!

Crooked Stic · February 27, 2020, 06:55:03 AM

Kenny if you do a lot of those risers with the thin strip here is an idea. Just have to make the top match the riser and let the hose do the work. Mine is a simple arc.

kennym · February 27, 2020, 09:54:20 AM

Mike , sadly a lot of my bows are one off ,then I change stuff. So I just don't build many jigs or special forms...

kennym · February 27, 2020, 11:09:28 AM
