New Tri-Lam ELB
« on: September 19, 2013, 02:05:25 pm »
Just finished up this tri-lam yesterday. It's going to a new home in Alberta. Ash back, yew core, ipe belly. 68" NTN, 65#@28". Strunk style handle wrap, black ebony tips and round black horn arrow pass. 3/4" of set. The yew core is a bit thicker than I normally do, but he wanted to really 'see' the yew.

I usually make a tri-lam like this longer for pure target shooting, but the new owner might want to hunt with it as well, hence the reduced length. 

I talked the young man down from 75#. Most young guys want more, and I always try and talk them into less. Go figure.

I don't know. Elephants maybe. Even 65# is too heavy, IMHO. This young fella just started shooting trad bows this year. I think it's about the macho I'm a tough guy thing. Oh well, like I told him... he's the one that has to shoot it!  ;)

Beautiful, I always like your elbs. Cool wood combo, never seen that one before. Reminds me of smors for some reason, :). Great job on the handle too.
