Bamboo backed bamboo belly Longbow.
« on: August 30, 2012, 04:48:46 pm »
64 inch NTN  56 pounds at 28"  Bamboo Back Bamboo belly IPe and osage core lams.  IPe handle with accent.  She has a sweet pull very smooth out to my draw of 27 inch  I carbonized the bamboo in my own secret way without a heat gun.  It is carbonized from the inside out not the outside in leaving me a nice clean surface to stain how I would like.  The stain looks yellow in pics but really is a nice dark orange faded to brown.  layered handle overlays of IPe HIkcory and brazilian chery as well as the tips are with horn overlays  Hope yall like.  It is going to its new home tomorrow after I put a leather grip on.

I've been wanting to try a tri-lam. It looks like you know what you are doing. Just curious...do you taper the core lam, belly lam, or both?

Lol I love it.  Is it really considered work if you enjoy every minute of it.  A wise man once told me that "a man who enjoys what he does for a living never works a day in his life" so there for I dont have one minute of work in that bad boy just lots of fun.   ;)

That's absolutely beautiful!!

I can't be the only one thinking a leather grip would just serve to hide a lot of the beauty there??
