This is a 64" ntn 52#@28" bow. It is 1/8" postive tiller with 1.5" at the fades and .5" at the nocks. I have been shooting it off the hand. But with the poor job on the handle wrap I will taking that off and putting an arrow rest on and doing another wrap. It has 4 coats of Tru-oil on the finish. It has been fun making. Rather challenging chasing a ring with some of the knots I had to contend with. But all that much more enjoyable to look at and to shoot.

I was going to glue on some tip overlays...but I just liked the way the tips came out.



It has about .5" string follow at this point in it's short life.

That is a remarkably nice piece of wood well placed knots and a great overall appearance. Nice job chasing the ring on the back David! Good looking bow!

Good lookin' bow Snag.  Just somethin' about a pretty piece of "Bodark" with a string on it.

Sure glad you're here to keep guys like me in line Pearl....    :D

Thanks guys. It is a huge deal to me. Been wanting to accomplish this for some time. Just hard finding the time to do it!

Dont EVEN think about blamin' me. I just wanted a full draw pic. Nothing was said about blowing out a window. Even though a bow that sweet could do it...........and not get in trouble for it!

Very nice bend!  Bet it shoots great too.
Enjoy the hunt!  - Mitch

I love shooting it. It was very hard to come to full draw and NOT let 'er fly....    :archer2:

David, Great looking bow...you done good!.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.
