Great wood choice, very nice design.

Nice job! Looks fast!!

Beautiful!

That's one of those bows that you want to hold just because it is so pretty!

Gorgeous. Nice work

Thanks for the kind words guys.The pic shows a different bow same design drawn to 27 1/2".It feels like it would be smooth to 29",but I have only checked it to 28" on a scale.
Brad your right,inspired by the Howatt Hi-Speed.
Howatt had a good design and fast shooting bows.
Bear had something similar going on in the fifties and they were known to be fast bows.
This bow has good manners,shooting and feeling like a longer bow and has good speed.

I like this one, nice cocobolo and ebony, perfect treestand bow for me

post morepics if you can

Incredible!  The talent here just amazes me!

Love the wood combo too...don't see that too often!

Beautiful !!!!!          

Nice job sir. Must be real satisfying to show her off. You should be proud. Yep I can see myself in a tree with her!

Don't know how I missed this one before.  Man that is one pretty bow, love the wood choices.
