Got my first bow wrapped up yesterday/today.  Grip and shelf/plate are installed.  Pics aren't the best, but here they are.  Bow is red oak with a white oak and Brazilian walnut riser.  Rattlesnake skins on the back.  60" nock to nock and pulls 44# at 27 inches.

Anyway, it ain't perfect...but I'm dang proud of the accomplishment and I'm in love with this bow.  Thanks to everyone on the site for all the help and insight you've given me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Great Job Brian!!!   Are you sure thats your first!?!!!?  We need the money shot too, lets see a full draw picture!

Once again Well done!

Looks awesome to me, you did a great job and should be proud of the first hurdle into this addiction.

Well done.  Those skins look great.

Thanks guys...I'll try and post the money shot later.

Congratulations on your first bow and welcome to the addiction. Your bow looks great. Nice job.

Here's the full draw pic....bottom limb is 1 inch shorter than the top.  Tiller isn't 100% perfect, but I'm happy.

Congrats, the bow looks great.  Really like the skins, well done, sir.

well with a first one like that who needs a second, but I bet you can't stop now.  

Thanks guys...I appreciate all the great feedback.  

I've already started my next one...hickory this time instead of red oak.
