Tri Lam Finished! Pic Heavy.. sorry LOL

[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, 55 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.  What do ya think?  Thanks for looking!   

I am going to post the pics in the next 2 or 3 posts.

Wow! That's extreme. Other than the perfect tiller, the detail around the handle looks awesome. Super nice job on that bow!

First; I don't think the mods will let you apologize for too many pics,
Second; the more bows like yours I see, the more I want to start gluing up!
Seriously, that is a fine looking bow!
Side question, what'd you glue it up with?

Nice!  And if you ever decide you just have WAY to many bows, here's another lefty that could take that fine piece of art and put it to good use!!  Good job!

thanks GMC!

Thanks Bowkee, glad i could help, lol 

thanks Alpinbogen, hopefully I can get a deer with this one and my copperhead osage bow this year. 

thanks Frode! I used Urac 185 for this glue up.  I really like this glue although I have used titebond III with great success also..

thanks Ken!  I wish i was right handed sometimes... 

Thanks Jeff... I didn't know you were a lefty too.    

Thanks Cowboy!

Josh, you really nailed that one. What a beauty. If that pass wasn't on the wrong side, I'd be tempted to try to talk you into a trade of some sort.
