Title: New BBI,this is my secound try at a laminate bow
Post by: HFD60 on December 21, 2009, 05:13:40 pm

Here are pics of my second laminate bow. This is one of David Knight's med r/d blanks. I was lucky to be able to spend a week with David in his shop and he taught me so much more than I ever could have figured out on my own, Thanks David  ;) This is one of three that I started while with him, the others will come later....This bow is 66" n-t-n, 55#@ 29"....

Very nice. Two short words for this beautiful bow.
What kind of glue did you use.

I think you have a keeper!  8)  Very nice bow and I love the warm colors. I can see some of David's influences in your bow. 8)  With a teacher like David you can't go wrong.

Very Nice Bow!  I think I will have to play with dyeing some bamboo on my next BBI it sure looks sharp.  Also I'm jealous, I'd love to spend a weekend in David's shop!

Looks really great. I just scrolled down to the pictures before reading and it had David knight written all over it. I scrolled back up and read the text to confirm. Nice work on finishing it out. That can be a real challenge to do and to end up with that poundage and still have the length and a good tiller is also an accomplishment. Love that birds eye maple too.

Looks like the time invested paid off big time. Nice lines, nice work. I figured David would be a good teacher.
