Title: Hey Bone... will this work??
Post by: Hornseeker on March 03, 2009, 08:06:04 PM: This is a test limb, to see if we like it. If this is agreeable for a limb...I'll go with it asap... :dunno:

Personally...I think its the most beautiful limb material I've ever worked with!! :P

Lowe, it does have a Macassar Ebony look to it.. Mac Eb is probably my favorite wood ever...

Post by: boneaddict on March 04, 2009, 08:18:11 AM: If I am ever to have a third one, ME will most likely be my choice. Kinda of a spendy hunk of wood. But it is insanely gorgeous.

Post by: Lowedog on March 04, 2009, 09:44:24 AM: Very nice!! Do you mind if I ask if you are going to use any other material under the Zebra Wood?

Post by: popeshawnpaul on March 04, 2009, 10:10:16 AM: Great stuff. I made my bathroom out of zebrawood and purpleheart...
Title: Re: Hey Bone... will this work??
Post by: Hornseeker on March 04, 2009, 12:27:34 PM: Shawn, I think you better take some pics of your bathroom and put them on this thread! :o I'd like to see that...

Lowe... what you are seeing in that pic is the belly side of a limb blank that I glued up.. that is a veneer of zebrawood that is 18 thousandths of an inch thick, underneath clear glass that is .032... behind that veneer is a .065 piece of maple, then a .055 piece of walnut, then a .110 piece of laminated bamboo, then a piece of .028 carbon fiber, then another .018 zebra and finally, a piece of clear glass on the back of the bow that is .015.

So... Lots of things under that zebra! :chuckle:

Most of my bows are 2-3 lams of wood or boo under the glass...

Post by: Lowedog on March 04, 2009, 12:45:56 PM: Sounds like a nice set up! Should really zip an arrow! What weight are you looking to get out of it?
Title: Re: Hey Bone... will this work??
Post by: mossback91 on March 04, 2009, 12:50:23 PM: So are you retiring the other one bone?
Title: Re: Hey Bone... will this work??
Post by: boneaddict on March 04, 2009, 04:01:14 PM: pretty good chance you'll see some purpleheart on this fellow Pope. ;)

Probably around 65 pounds or so. My current one is around 80. :) HS assures me that the arrows will zip at 65 still.
No Moss the curent rocket launcher will still be on the harvest.

This is what my wife wanted so that's what I made her. It's definitely unique.

Sorry Bone... :jacked:

Title: Re: Hey Bone... will this work??
Post by: boneaddict on March 04, 2009, 07:27:32 PM: No problem man. Thats cool. NOT going to let Lil' Bone see this one though.......
Title: Re: Hey Bone... will this work??
Post by: Todd_ID on March 06, 2009, 10:19:46 PM: Dang, that thing is simply beautiful! When I switch to traditional that's what I want. Hornseeker, make sure to keep that recipe on file. One of these days the $650 will fall off my money tree, and I'll be making a call. Good luck with that piece this September, Bone!
Title: Re: Hey Bone... will this work??
Post by: boneaddict on March 09, 2009, 06:18:23 AM: Thanks Todd, I can't wait. With that multiseason permit in my pocket this fall I ought to have a lot of time in the woods after that big one.
Title: Re: Hey Bone... will this work??
Post by: Hornseeker on March 09, 2009, 09:05:13 AM: NICE WORK Shawn. Wow... Ive built a lot of cabinets, but Hickory, Alder, Cherry, Pine, Maple and VG Fir were pretty much the only woods I've used on cabinets.... NICE Job...

Yeah...we are shooting for about 65# at Doug's 32" draw weight...

Thanks for all the compliments... I am also looking foward to seeing this thing come together...
