Attached are some pics of a Herter's 46" reproduction I just finished up.  I started this bow back in November and it came out lighter than expected thus sat on the shelf for a while.  

It has .040 brown ULS, Actionboo cores, Actionwood riser with a white phenolic stripe.  I used a .030 walnut power lam in front of the riser to ease some of the stress on the fades.  I have white and brown glass overlays on the back, bamboo and brown on the belly and osage and white phenolic on the tips.  It turned out 37# @ 28".  Thunderbird flat epoxy finish, velcro rest.  

Pics are a little dark but I dont see too much daylight this time of the year.

Always say what you mean, that way people will know you mean what you say.

Cool little bow, you sure turn out some nice looking stuff.
It is better to be approximately right than exactly wrong.

Dang thats short! What is the max draw for it? Nice riser work, very nice.

They shoot good at 28"...and that is about it. It takes a 42" string.

Sweet looking bow. How does she shoot?

Believe it or not the "HARDWAY" is often the EASIER way(in hindsight)!

Not too bad in fact...Silencing these little suckers is sometimes difficult, but its a good shooter.

Now that is just down rat cool.  Brad I would say you have out done your bad self, except a little birdie told me you have something even cooler in store for all of us.  I can't wait to see it.

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

I saw this one or one of the ones like this Brad is making and the craftsmanship is awesome.  That looks great.

Wow- another nice one Brad!! I like how you did the overlay on the riser. You are right on them being good shooters too- I'll be field testing one next month on some turkeys.
