BBI
« on: December 02, 2010, 11:48:40 pm »
This is a David Knight Blank and it shoots like a rocket!  It is 66" tip to tip, 52# @ 27".  It came in lighter than I wanted, but it's a fun bow to stump shoot with.    I normally like leather grips, but couldn't cover this one up.  It is layered with Australian Cypress, Cherry, Ipe, and Maple.  Thanks for looking!

Good job Jeff - did you get a pre-glued blank from David or did you get the pieces and glue it yourself?

Beautiful bow Jeff,great job , David make a great blank but still takes lots of talent to finish one out that nice,I have seen some of David's that didn't turn out that good. I guess what I am saying is just because it is a blank don't mean it will automatically be a bow. Nice work.  :)

Nice bow. Looks the bottom limb could use a few scrapes from mid limb out. Its still showing a little reflex at full draw where the top limb is pulled straight.

Pappy's right, I meant in now way to take away from the skill that goes into bringing one of these blanks to their full potential.  Anyone who has done R/D's know tillering is the toughest part of making these bows.  I don't see the discrepency in the limbs but Ryan has better trained eyes than I ;D

Well its about damned time Jeff...its been since May for cripes sake.... :P....really nice job on it...and I am with you...handles are too nice looking to cover on most of Davids Blanks.... I do  believe Ryan is right though...could have used a bit more on that bottom limb...what a difference to tiller a R/D Bow.....keeps you on your toes....I really like it though...

Thanks for the comments all!  I did get this down in TN, just never got around to taking pictures of it (I look at that as much more of a chore!).  I have several others I've been wanting to post up, maybe on Christmas break I'll get that done.  >:D  Thanks again!
