I think I built a Bow

[sman]

Thanks Kenny

About a month ago, I Emailed Kenny telling him I want to build a bow.  I had a small pdf of his 58 RD long bow that I redrew somewhat close and then had Zund Cut a plexi template.

From there Kenny set me up with the tappers, veneers and glass - hopping for a 47# to 50#

2-pieces .040 glass ---------.080
2-pair .030 veneers ---------.060
1 pr taper (.001) -------------.070
1 pr taper (.002) -------------.100

Finished product turned out 43# @ 28

Thanks, Steve

Very very nice. To get a shootable bow first try is a great accomplished. It's beautiful and looks like it's bending great

That is some good work!

Very nice! Curly Maple and Walnut are 2 of my favorites and they always make a nice combo.
Well done!

Just want to say Thank You! to everyone, and believe me, if it wasn't for all of you guy's knowledge and post this would not have turned out as good.

Sitting Bermuda waiting on a flight tomorrow at 3, that I pray goes - so that I can be in a tree Saturday with my new toy
