this bow had a long, long journey to become a bow. lets just say i have been working on it off and on for 2 years :P, boo, black walnut and maple trilam,
osage powerlam and mahogany handle. 68" ttt and about 45#@29 and shoots super smooth.bison tips with bobcat silencers on a d97 string 10 strand.
i stained the boo with dark walnut which is not very dark, then i applied several coats of ebony at the nodes for the fade. hope ya like it(https://i.imgur.com/PVTxR0r.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/5JvfVcj.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/umoPyFt.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/6RwmGH5.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/m3REfsv.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/OqJ0hIw.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/bdf6PF0.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/gkitouF.jpg)

First Class, Bubby
-
That is a beautiful bow! I bet it is silky smooth as well as fast to shoot.
-
Beautifully exicuted bubby! I totally love it! It's my favorite profile and is very well made. True artistry at its finest.
Definitely a BOY candidate!
Well done Sir!

A nice one there Bubby I like the color scheme beautiful !
-
I'm not a great fan of stain... but that's classy :)

I like it. One of my favorite profiles. I love how they shoot. If I were to offer any helpful criticism, I'd say the bottom limb looks to be flexing less than the top..... unless you are canting it in the full draw picture... if so, I respectfully withdraw my assessment.... canting often skews things.
-
Very elegant Bub, you did great with the stain.
And all profile look beautiful, tiller can't be any better!
-
Beautiful!
-
What's not to like about that! The tiller and profiles leave nothing to be desired.
-
Patience is a virtue, nice bow Bubby. It looks like it was worth the time.

That's a great looking bow Bubby! Nice work.
-
Beautiful profile on that one! It looks just as smooth as you say it shoots!
-
I can just feel my hand slipping around that thing. Your patience was rewarded with an exceptional bow! Nice work Bub!
-
That's a nice one bub
-
Thanks for all the comments guys i appreciate it. Squirrel it is canted some, and it has about 3/16" pos tiller, i usually tiller them even but this one fought that to the end.
-
Wow Bub, gorgeous. (A) Love those tip underlays, and the way you wrapped the maple belly up the grip like those glass boys do it. ::) ;)
No doubt, patience pays off
-
Really nice Bub!
-
Sweet bow all around and feel that's an understatement.Love what you did with the stain on those nodes.Seems patience wins the race with decisions on bows.
-
Thanks Ed, Marco, Aaron i just wanted to see if i could wrap those fades up like that, what a pita, did it once, never again😉
-
Am I mistaken that I see walnut underlays towards the tips?What was the pita about those fades?
-
You kicked butt on that one Bub
-
Yup walnut underlays Ed, the pita was all the extra work, prebending them , they were a bear to get the proper pressure on plus the crap i will get cause they do look like a fglass bow. Just wanted to try something differant. I also had to grind off the belly lam twice on it so i had to do them 3 times😲
Thanks bill😉
-
Very nicxe. Bamboo working Maple is not something you see everyday
-
Real nice work! It shoots from the proper side, too (SH)!

I see then it was a guessing game as to how thick the laminations were to be before glue up.Still nice work though getting a smoooooth shooter.
-

Beautiful Bow Bubby, love those trilams.
-
Great to see how well ya made this one turn out. Particularly after all the trials/tribulations it dealt ya along the way!
-
Bubby that's one beautiful bow the stain job looks great on that boo.
-
Bubby, this bow shows the craftsmanship you have in your veins. Very nice laminated bow you built. I really like those walnut tip underlays. I just wish you lived closer to KY I would drive over just to shoot that bow. Good ole south-paw!!!!
-

-
