R/D BBO tri-lam
« on: January 15, 2011, 05:22:46 pm »
Finally got this bow finished up.  It took me forever to glue it up and then forever to start tillering.  It came out a bit too light for me (that early weight really fooled me this time) but I think it came out nice nonetheless.  It is a Bamboo backed osage with a bubinga midlam and bubinga powerlam.  Bubinga and cocobolo riser.  Gopher snake skins on the back, Not oxblood ;) Bubinga and cow horn nock overlays.  It is 64" total length 1 1/4" wide until near midlimb and the tapers to 3/8" nocks.  It is 47# @28" and pretty darn quick and smooth.   Hope ya like it.  The FD pic is before I put the tung oil on it.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Nate that bow is spectacular. You have made some very nice bows lately but this one is your best in my opinion. Great lines, color combinations and the tiller is perfect. Congratulations

Thanks Guys! 

I want to send Kudos out to Scott (Oneeye)  He sent me the lams for this bow and the horn.  He is a top notch trader with excellent quality wood.

Keenan, I think you are right about that, I kind of shake my head in amusement when I look back on earlier bows that I "thought" were nice bows ::) ;D  Looking forward to looking back at this one and thinking the same thing ;)

Tim, I Will trade for a GSP pup ;D
