R/D Finished.
 

Ok been a busy day working on the R/D bow, finally got the limbs pulling even so I decided to get her done today.

Here she is hanging with the first coat of polly on.

I decided to go with Zebrawood for the tip and center overlays.

Cocobolo riser with Yellowheart, Buginga and Purpleheart center accent strips running vertical.



Side view of the Cocobolo.



The Zebrawood center overlay.



The limb colors are Bubinga on the front and Purpleheart on the back of the limbs;)

I will take some more pics tomorrow in the daylight;)

You bet he does!! Well done Kanga!!

RE: R/D Finished.
 

Here are some pics of her basking in the morning sun:):D

RE: R/D Finished.
 

Excellent work. Good job.;)

RE: R/D Finished.
 

Purdy...

How's she shoot? Any strung side profile pics?

RE: R/D Finished.
 

It shoots real good and fast, fast enough for me to zip an arrow just over the top of the target and off into never be seen again land:D

Nope forgot to take one, will have to do that next time I go to the shop, it's hanging on the wall there with the TD as display models;)

What's the next project Russ?

RE: R/D Finished.
 

He said something about a 52" forward handle r/d "long"bow...

:D

RE: R/D Finished.
 

He did???????????????????????????????????????:)

One never knows what will be next;)

Might even finish off Secret project X:D

RE: R/D Finished.
 

As long as there are pics I don't care what the next project is!:D

I seriously need to start doing some research on Trad bows. Any good recommendations on books/websites? I'm thinking about a recurve, probably 45 lbs to start with - and maybe just find a cheapo for that one. And then get something a bit nicer after I get decent with that.

RE: R/D Finished.
 

Russ, I was thinking I'd missed the side profile pics of her strung and unstrung. Any chance you have any you could post?

RE: R/D Finished.
 

Mike.

Iwill have to remember to take the camera with me next time I go to the shop.;)

But I am old and forgetfull:D

Iput post it notes up all over the place then after a couple of daysI am wondering what the heck are they for:D:D:D

RE: R/D Finished.
 

I've found those notes work best if you write on them before sticking them up :)

RE: R/D Finished.
 

Oh crap now ya tell me[:@]

Let me write that on one now so I wont forget;):):D

RE: R/D Finished.
 

The mind is one of the first things to go...can you remember the other?:D

RE: R/D Finished.
 

The other mind.

:)

RE: R/D Finished.
 

No I can't but I do have it written down somewhere, just where I have no idea :eek:[:-];)[8D]:):D
