I've been slowly working on this bow for a buddy of mine- he was looking for a longbow to take after elk this year. It will finish 56#@ 28"- it's 62" with bocote veneers over a boo core and zebrawood riser with maple and glass accents- shoots hard and fast.. it has some sanding sealer on it now- just need to get some krystal sprayed to finish it up.

Beautiful work Trux
Very nice as always Dave.
The elk should be jumping at a chance to be shot by that bow.
Great choice on woods. Gorgeous bow :thumbsup:
Great bow, Trux.
Great looking bow Trux.
You have outdone yourself on that one Dave. Your buddy is one lucky guy, hope he draws a tag and whacks a big one.
Thanks guys! Hopefully he'll wack one this fall with it.

Kenny- bet it looks familiar to you ;)
Now you went and did it! He won't have any excuses now if he misses....well I guess there's still the old standbys like "the sun was in my eyes, he smelled me, a twig deflected my arrow...."
Very nice work. I like the design and how the outter 1/3 of the limbs are storing energy with being a little stiff. Looks like a real shooter.
awesome! Tiller looks great on it!
Yeah I like the way she bends. Really like how the limb shape from the riser continues in a smooth curve and it's carried out nicely at full draw. Nice design and job.
That is a beautiful bow!!!!!!!!!! :thumbsup:
Thanks all!- I got it sprayed yesterday and ran some arrows through it- no doubt it will work on elk- plus we did get our first choice here so all systems are go. It finished 56#@28"- he was hoping for 57# but I'm guessing he won't mind-lol.
