Here's my latest bow. Its pignut hickory, 61" NTN. 1 5/8 wide on the belly at the fades. It trapped down to about 7/8" across the back. Hence the name "Trapezium". Very, very little width taper until midlimb then tapers to 3/8", 4 " from the tips then a straight 3/8" to finish out. Pulls 50lbs. @ 27". Whitetail antler over walnut two layer tip overlays. I worked really hard on the leather for the strike plate and rest. Skived it down really thin and glued on the TB 3. Shot the first arrow at 12:15 am on Dec 22nd, my birthday. Put the last coat of Tru-oil on the 1st. Took to work today to show it off and it didn't even make it home.  I truly liked it too.
Any constructive criticsm welcome.
Here's some pics.

Mods,
Photobucket obviously doesn't automatically resize your pics anymore when you upload them. I been trying to resize them but PB is acting slow as smoke in the editing dept. and I get nothing done. Bear with me.

I like it! Is that it's natural colour or did you stain the wood?

That bow is beautiful. Well done.

Nice, and yes PB is messed up today.

One coat of Zar Rosewood. Sanded with 600. A coat of Minwas Ebony. Sanded with 600. Another coat of Ebony...Sanded with 600. Then 8 coats of Tru-oil, handrubbed with those blue shop towels on a roll like paper towels.

Really nice! Those antler tips are the bomb.

Criticsm? This is a hard place to find that. Besides, I can't pick that bow apart at all. Nice job!
I'm gonna have to try that design someday.

Nice looking bow.

I'll tell you what I don't like...  It's not in my hands...  

Great looking bow! Well done!

Looks great! Like that design....Dan

It's a beauty!  Well done...

Thats really sweet.  That color is great.

Thank you gentlemen. I have plans to start another of the same design. This bow was the shortest I've done so far and I really liked the lenght of it. 62 is a lot shorter in the woods than the 68 I've hunted with this season. I never even got to take Trapezium out of the yard though. Got to get busy LOL

Still can't PB to act right. I'll try again later this evening after work.

beautiful bow. you should be proud of that one.

Beautiful bow. Once again I'm sure enjoying that Kentucky country in the background.

Me too. I'm dug in here like a tick on a hound.

Still can't get nothing done in PB. don't know what's going with it. Click to resize the pics and it just freezes up.

Thanks Bear.
