Kenny M's material, except the leftover gray actionwood butts butted up together, some red phenolic and a piece of zebrawood in the handle. Oh yeah and a piece of edge sawn bacote, I got as a packing strip really set off the back of the bow.  (http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss315/Mikey1949/DCP01549_zpsc683a51b.jpg) (http://s587.photobucket.com/user/Mikey1949/media/DCP01549_zpsc683a51b.jpg.html)   (http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss315/Mikey1949/DCP01546_zps9e3882e0.jpg) (http://s587.photobucket.com/user/Mikey1949/media/DCP01546_zps9e3882e0.jpg.html)

That's a good looking outfit right there.  Hard to beat bacote.

Thanks, guys, this one shoots an excellent group at 20 yards. braced at 7.5 inches and has a nocking point just below 3/4 of an inch. Puts an arrow right where your looking, (thats what I tell this ol' Body anyway.)
