« on: January 01, 2015, 02:29:05 am »
More photos to follow, just thought I would post something year end and going into the New Year with hopefully a successful bow.   :)      3 peice Maple 64"  16" maple riser with yew accent.  Currently applying the backing.

Did the Native Americans think about all this that much or just do it?

Still have finishing to do and much tweaking.  Tiller check critique, thanks for looking........  Shot over 40 arrows thru it it shoots very good.  Poundage maybe around 36-38.  Backed with 2 layers of black linen.

What hardware are you using to fix the limbs to the riser?

Could you please post a pic of that?

Glad to help.  For starters I have to give credit where credit is due and that is Bubby.  His bow build inspired me to build one.

 At any rate for the life of me I can only find the prong style T-nuts.  So what I did was cut the sides off untill you end up with what looks like the one in the right-side photo. I drilled thru the riser and recessed the T-Nuts 4 in total.  Then I covered them with a small yew lam.  Its a process that takes planning, its the second one I made. 
Number one rule       >:D   drill the holes in the limbs and riser dead center with perfect alignment the first time and the rest will follow. ..  ;)

Thanks man!

What kind of screws did you use to attach the limbs to the riser after you installed the threaded inserts?

Screws are 5/16" x 2"  use either or.  The flat-heads are hard to find in my parts.
