Tri Lam Finished! Pic Heavy.. sorry LOL
« on: May 22, 2010, 08:20:53 pm »
This is my first attempt at a Tri Lam bow.  It is bamboo backed Yellowheart (satinwood)  with a purple heart core.  Shallow R/D design.  66" NtN, 55 lbs at 28".  I glued in around 2 inches of reflex and it kept nearly an inch after shooting it in. I really like the color combo in these two woods together, I was afraid it would look really girl-y but I think the speed of this one speaks for itself.  It came out pretty fast, the fastest bow I have made yet.  *EDIT*  Oh yeah I named her "Sunset", too.  What do ya think?  Thanks for looking!   :)

I am going to post the pics in the next 2 or 3 posts.   ;)

Wow! That's extreme. Other than the perfect tiller, the detail around the handle looks awesome. Super nice job on that bow!

First; I don't think the mods will let you apologize for too many pics,
Second; the more bows like yours I see, the more I want to start gluing up!
Seriously, that is a fine looking bow!
Side question, what'd you glue it up with?

If it doesn't rap the lintel, it might not be a longbow.

thanks GMC!

Thanks Bowkee, glad i could help, lol  :)

thanks Alpinbogen, hopefully I can get a deer with this one and my copperhead osage bow this year. 

thanks Frode! I used Urac 185 for this glue up.  I really like this glue although I have used titebond III with great success also..

thanks Ken!  I wish i was right handed sometimes...  :)

Thanks Jeff... I didn't know you were a lefty too.   :) 

Thanks Cowboy!   :)

Josh, you really nailed that one. What a beauty. If that pass wasn't on the wrong side, I'd be tempted to try to talk you into a trade of some sort. ;)
