Finished this one a few weeks ago it's pretty but has a problem with the glass pulling away from the paduck veneer. Riser is paduck and yellowheart with black glass and maple accent strips. Limbs are actionboo with osage/paduck veneers. Belly overlays are osage, back is paduck and osage.

How is the bow holding up? Did it get worse?

Just curious I suppose.

Take care

Well she still shoots and doesn't make anymore creeking sounds unless I draw her back to 30". Had to set the nocking point 1" above center to get any kind of arrow flight. Put her on a tillering tree and see that the upper limb is bending way too much. Going to take more off the bottom limb to see what happens. Still might make a turkey blind bow yet as she is 44 1/2lbs now. Still shoots strange though. I have to anchor right under my eye with 3 under to get point on at 30 yards with a 525 gr arrow that's flying at 145 fps.
