Well here it is, as done as it will ever be. 60" long, 45#@28". Hickory backed Ipe with tips and riser made of bocote and cocobolo. I finished it off with 4 coats of tung oil, which really improved the overall look of the bow. Oh, and i threw in some pics of the back quiver i threw together this week..filled with some homemade arrows with fletching from a turkey i killed. Overall, a very do-it-yourself project!

thanks for looking guys!

Nice work! I like the curves, and the quiver.

Nice job on the whole package, quiver is very unique but in a good way.

Kyle Patterson

Thanks guys. Yeah the top of the quiver was the end cut of the leather and was kinda feathered out already. Just decided to leave it on.

Nice work...love the quiver.  Bow is very nice too.

That's nice! The whole package. The quiver has a primitive look that goes very well with the arrows. Good job! The bow is pretty and looks fast.

That is just VERY nice...what is the thickness of your hickory?

I dont see a string on it? Any braced and drawn shots?

Kyle Patterson

Hey, sorry I forgot the strung pics. I have them posted in a different thread - Rebacking into R/D. The Hickory is 3/16". Thanks for all the complements! I'm really happy with it!

Very nice set up, Kyle. Is the bow left handed?

Kyle Patterson

It doesn't have a rest, so it could be shot either hand.

I like the whole package - nice work all the way around.  Time to get after some turkeys!
Enjoy the hunt!  - Mitch
