It is not just another bow, it is a creation of bow art. Very nice work. :cheers:

Thanks guys. I will post again when it is finished.
Dalebow- whenever you decide what you want let me know and I can get the stuff together. Deer season in a couple of months so the bow making will be less but it can be a winter project.

I have some Figured walnut here right now that would look great under clear glass. It is a dark brown with some black figure to it. The paralell and taper I have would make a low 50s draw weight.I will shoot you a pic of it soon.

Stic,

You've got to feel good about that! Very nice! What materials did you use in the limbs?

It has flat grain zebrawood limb core. It has a nice look and is light weight.

Got the bow done today. It is finished with T-Bird epoxy in my opinion one of the best out there. It is wet sanded with 600 grit then 1500 grit. Then a couple of coats of paste wax to bring out the sheen (satin).

Wow! What a beauty!! Do you sell your bows, or is it more of a hobby? Or do you sell them to subsidise your hobby?! :)

I try to keep it at a hobby level but sell enough to fund hunts etc.
