Here’s some more pics of the bow Razorbak66 posted. Not really going to say but an older Bear Kodiak may have helped with the design. Changed the riser to a 16” and closer to a longbow grip. I was fortunate to have Glen St Charles sign it. One of my favorite bows I’ve built. Canary wood limbs with padauk and wenge riser.

A good looker to be sure.

Finished 1 today minus finish sanding. Had to run a few arrows thru it. It turned out at 49lbs @ 28”. Started to get mine roughed in. Tried a new grip inspired by Razorbak. Really like the looks of it and the positive hand placement. Thanks Razorbak for the idea.

Very talented.

Hopefully I’ll have more bow pics for you in the next couple of days. Please stay tuned.

Was able to work on the handle and fades tonight. Trying to get the end of the fades to match the angle of the finger grooves.

We should talk Razorbak to post some of the bows he built. I’ve seen some of them and they are sharp. Really nice work.

LOL. I don’t have many pics of bows online but some in photo albums I will dig out maybe this weekend. I just happen to run across my last bow I built and shown @Longbow73 I never was one to take pics of the bows I built in the past more of my leatherwork back in the day. Now I assemble bows more often than not as I shoot primarily DAS and ILF bows since the beginning of trad talk days but this winter I might have a few in the works but I can’t wait to see what @Longbow73 finishes it’s gonna be sweet I tell yah
