Today I finished a new R/D bow that I built on order. I started building it on March 21 therefore I have named this bow "Equinox".
The bow is 62" long has a pull of 47 lbs. @28". The riser is made of bocote and black walnut split by a mosaic strip. The limbs are made of bocote under clear glass (backing and belly), the core is osage and ash. The tips are made of black micarta and bocote.

This was my result after some shooting at 20 yards.

Awesome bow! The more bocote I see, the more I think that my first custom bow is going to be bocote.
Great looking bow,beautiful wood combo.I have a few bows with bacote it is a beautiful looking wood in the riser and limb veneers.
Awesome looking bow!!
Looks like it holds up in its shooting capability too!
The bow looks great, but I'm really impressed that you have the b@11s to shoot at that target with windows and doors, etc right behind it.
Wow!! That's an eye-popper! Sweet!!
Very nice work, I'm fond of the mosaic accents. :thumbsup:
Im drooling.....
Man! That's what I'm talking about.
Thanks guys for your nice comments.
Yesterday I chronoed some arrows with this bow but the light was fading so the read outs may not be accurate enough for real good statistics.
Arrow: Legacy 2016 with 125 gr field point, 5" shield LW helical, weight ~ 475 gr, length 29"
Average arrow speed after 5 arrows: 190 fps.
I'll have a go some other time to compare with these results.
