Ok here are some more picks. It ended being 58 3/4" amo. Limbs are 1" wide. I wish I knew how put up pics before so I could of asked for help easier and probably turned out better. It shoots great I'm working on cutting the arrows I made for it. NO hand shock at all and very quiet with out silencers but I will add them later. I ordered my string from Bearbowman, He did an awesome job making it.

Great Job!  :clapper:  

Is that dark chocolate color the natural color of the ironwood or stained? I like it.

Semo, Yes that's the actual color of the of the wood. This one was trial and error  being that was 59" to begin with. I have another piece just like it but 2"x2"x8'. The grain is so straight and so dense that it sinks instead of floats.

thats awesome. great fd curve.


and im starting to wonder if a little more mass at the tips doesnt absorb some of the resonance. my smoothest bows are all the ones with the most meat at the tips...


love it!
