Splicing question? Pictures of "two face" Added....

Good job Ryan. A wrap with rawhide and it will look good on the rack at Shatners .

very nice job ryan, I guess we have a new plicing technique. That is the prettiest Frankinstein I've ever seen!!!!!

[Bullitt]

Cool Ryan! Thats my weight and draw length,send her to me here in Indiana and I'll put her to good use,Ha Ha!

[Ryano]

Thanks fellas! 
I wrapped the handle with raw hide and started the finishing process. I'll post pictures when its done. I think I'm going to change its name to "Two face" instead of franken bow.

Looks good, I think you should go out and skewer a turkey with it just to make sure and all

[Kegan]

Old rules about splicing seem to have been around for a very long time- even though new glues have gotten alot stronger.

Anyone think that the new glues might be stronger than the old designs? Seems Ryano's beautiful "Two Face" might prove that ?

[Aosda]

May be a FrankenBow, but definately not ugly.  It looks good to me.  So would it be considered a "Mapple" Bow?

[Pennhawk]

Hey Ryano, You cant change the name now it's to far along in the game.

[Ryano]

Tracy, I'll probably use something a little less bright colored for turkeys....
That vine maple is stark white but it sure is pretty natural like that.

Kegan, I wrapped the handle in raw hide now so there's no chance it can break at the splice. I think that would be a good fix for any bow with a questionable splice on it. Once the raw hide shrinks down aint nothing going pull apart ever!

Thanks Aosda. Or vine apple? lol.

Chris, the building process isn't over so I can change the name as much as want ! If your nice to me I just might let you shoot ole two face.....

Ryan, I made a bow for a guy a while back and put two different colored snakes skins on it. Called it "By- Polar" Would have been a perfect name for that bow of yours.    I can't imagine the looks it will get in public?

Nice job Ryan ,I have always wondered why they all weren't splice that way,just looks like it would be stronger to me,I am sure there is a reason why it's nominally done that way,but if someone hadn't showed me the other way ,that is how I would have done it. Can't wait to see it finished up.

Actually Timo, its not that noticeable from a far. You'll see when I post finished pictures.  
Thanks Pappy. I would try it again, especially in a situation like this.
