Thanks so much Travis, she's beautiful and fits my hand great!

After seeing this one , I may need to send my victim another one, my classic look bow doesn't compare to this!!

That riser overlay around the sight window that matches the limb veneer is a nice touch!

That's a pretty one Travis! Congratulations Kenny!

Thanks guys. Glad it made it to you un damaged Kenny. Always makes me nervous shipping things.

Hillbilly, it's a 17" riser

Got a little behind last week and wasn't able to glue the bow yet. Just have to sand riser fades and then I'll be ready to go either tonight or tomorrow.

I've decided to change gears. I was going through my stash and found some beautiful curly hickory and walnut I was saving for a nice bow but decided to build my swap bow out of it. I'll be posting pics

I have glued up and roughed out my limbs. I will have a few pictures shortly.

I'll be working on my bow next week. I'm turkey hunting in Ohio this week.
It's tough hunting this year. Hardly any birds. Still time though.

I used a spacer on my form for the different riser type. It worked well.

And I got the rest of the riser on. This brings me up to date to now. Once I get home I'll pull it out, next up site window and grip.

Thanks for the photo Tim, I hope it performed up to your expectations at the shoot, and for many seasons to come!!

EvilDogBeast · April 27, 2022, 08:41:26 PM

Looking good!

Ready to put this one in the mail. I may have to take it to the blind with me in the morning to make sure it functions like it's supposed to!
