This is the second hybrid bow build for my buddy Scott, since the first came in too light.  This one has an osage/wanut riser with maple accents, hickory core, curly hickory limbs, and antler tips.  It is 62" NTN and draws 57@28.  I just started filling the pores and will finish it soon.

 

 

 

 

Man I love osage and walnut.

MAN!  What a great looking riser.  The antler tips looks great also Apex.  As always, very impressed!

Wow- great looking bow- bet he will be happy

Oooooh, that's gonna be a nice one! Great work once again Marty.  

Man,those are curly!!

Super job on the tips, buddy!!!      

Love that riser swoop, Marty - looks like another winner for sure.  Is that your newer R/D form?

Beautiful as always Marty. I'm sure he'll love it.

Very nice!

Kenny,  that curly hickory is awesome!  I'll be wanting some more of that, for sure.  I'll be calling you on Monday to place another order buddy.

This is my newer pronounced R/D (hybrid).  I've got three more to build after this one!

Great Job Marty. Looks great

a true piece of art  

Finished this one this morning.  She is 62" NTN, and draws 57@28.  Osage and walnut riser with maple accents.  This beauty has an edge grain hickory core, curly hickory limb faces, and antler tips.  She is a good shooter!  I'm gonna try a power lam on the next one to try and move the bend out of the fades just a little.  

Another nice one Marty! Very cool!

NICE!

Awesome bow Marty!!!Think you will be pleasantly surprised at the benefit of the power lam, helped me dampen some vibration and added a little quickness. Got me some help from the pirates! Let me know what ya think.>>>>>------->

i really like that walnut insert in the handle, man, i am going to copy you!

That looks very nice.  With you eye for asthetics I can see why you are going for the power lam idea.  Always thinking, aren't you?

It's a really sweet shooting bow.  My chrony is not working properly.  I have a light kit on the way that should help.  I may not make any changes.  The unstrung profile of this bow is quite a bit deflexed right where it apears to be bending the most.  I think it looks worse than it is.  I'm not gonna make any design changes until I get it chronographed properly.

Thanks for the compliments!

marty how much did you adjust your stack for the hickory (if any)????
