Hi All

I have finally got to the stage where I can look at this bow and smile. It's not yet complete, but hopefully by the end of the w'end I'll be shooting her. Aiming for 50#@28, she is 60, but might chop 2 off if she comes in under weight. Any suggestions on tillering?

Sorry, hope this works...










The last image is what the super glue fix looks like after I dropped the bow.

Thanks for looking...

Looking good. I like that profile. Dont forget to show us finished pics!

Nice! what kind of wood are you working with?

that looks good..kinda like a centuar

Ja... I really like Centaurs, and as the chances of ever owning one are slim for me, I modelled it around them.  :rolleyes:   Not totally the same though.....

Sorry Jim if I've broken some rules!

The woods are African Rosewood veneer on the back and in the riser (Figured Redish). The belly is Actionboo and the tips and light dirty orangish wood in the riser is Rhodesian Teak. It will hopefully darken to a red similar to Cocobola.

This will be my first hybrid bow, to own, shoot or build. I have shot some mild R/D and built some Bamboo backed mild R/D bows. I'm not sure what to expect when I shoot it. I normally shoot an ELB.

Thanks for looking.

Good looking profile, should be very quick.  Nice job.

Thanks for the comments. I cut out the site window when I got home tonight and worked on the tips, lots of sanding tomorrow!!!! Will post pics when it's done...

Good looking bow!! It does have a nice profile.
