I already posted a koa bow I made this summer. I thought I'd go ahead and share the other three I built this summer.
I built a 67" ambrosia maple veneer, walnut cores and a Birdseye maple riser. It draws 54@28. It shoots great at my 29.5" draw but I wouldn't want it any shorter.
Next is a koa riser and veneer with walnut cores. 58@28 and 68".
Last is a bow that gave me issues. It is gaboon ebony with all yew limbs. I felt like I was gut punched when I found the lam on the back had cracked and I was left with a terrific shooting and looking bow...except the crack. What to do? Well I've wanted to do snake skins for a while. I think it turned out great. It is 69" and 54@28.

Beauties for sure...
I love them! Great job.
Nice looking bows...
Great looking bows, anything over 46# would tear out my shoulder, wish I was younger. If wishes were horses they would _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
