hill style bamboo backed lemonwood
« on: December 23, 2011, 12:51:56 am »
I got this sweet piece of lemonwood from James Parker and he figured it would make a real nice string follow style bow.  I backed it with some madake bamboo I got from Jaap and put a Thai rosewood riser on it.  I found a nice old Thai house post of this wood and it will be on many a bow riser in my future.

Hard thing about living overseas is having to cut my nice wood in half to get them in my duffel bag.  Most time I use a sleeve system to get them back together and make take down bows but decided to try a fishtail spice on this.









67" long


cool bamboo spots


albino horn overlays

came out at 68# @ 29"

Thanks for looking.  Merry Christmas to everyone on PA from Randy in Thailand.  Thanks James for the great piece of lemonwood and Jaap for the nice bamboo.

Thanks everyone.

You're welcome here anytime Mike.  I like Thai food as well.


my daughter suggested this name.  I like it cuz its a sweet shooter and I hope to "drop" a few pigs with her. 

I was out roving with my son and I saw a red plastic oil bottle about 40 yrds out and let an arrow fly and the blunt tip nailed it.  Felt really great and fun to watch the arrow fly to its mark.

Randy, that's just a pretty bow anyway you look at it. I really like that Rosewood riser. You never got back with me about the boo?  Eddie
