From Josh:This is my first attempt at a Tri Lam bow. It is bamboo backed Yellowheart (satinwood) with a purple heart core. Shallow R/D design. 66" NtN, 5
5 lbs at 28". I glued in around 2 inches of reflex and it kept nearly an inch after shooting it in. I really like the color combo in these two woods together, I was afraid it would look really girl-y but I think the speed of this one speaks for itself.
It came out pretty fast, the fastest bow I have made yet. *EDIT* Oh yeah I named her "Sunset", too. I was surprised this one came out as cool as it did. i had some clamping problems during glue up of the backing strip but it worked out since Urac has a pretty long open time. I did throw a few clamps in the process though. It only took like 2 weeks, start to finish!
This is only a sample of the praise for this bow:Wow! That's extreme. Other than the perfect tiller, the detail around the handle looks awesome. Super nice job on that bow!gmc
That looks Kill Josh, I'm motivated now. -bowkee
