This is for Halfsiminole. He made me an excellent powder horn in trade for this one. I should finish it in the next few weeks. It's all American. Made from a very fine chunk of maple (provided by Kirk Lavender of Bigfoot bows) and some exceptional Claro Walnut I have had for several years. Whitetail antler overlays, tips and knobs are planned from this one. Haven't decided if it will be a 64" or 66" yet. He wants 45#@ 31". Limbs will be maple and walnut. This one will light up when the finish goes on.

Very sweet riser.

Lookin good keep er coming along!

Gonna be a good one Dan!!

Nice!! Cant wait to see more.

Great looking riser.  I bet it will turn out even better.  Nicely done.

That is a thing of beauty!

It'll be a short draw for me but it opens up off-the-shelf arrow solutions as well as ordering shafts from people here.  I'm still looking at making bows, but I was nowhere near ready to make a three-piece takedown.  Besides, I don't have near the tools, shop or experience-or the skill.  

It's better in these pics than the ones he's texted me, mostly because I can see these better with the one eye that's working.  I seriously wonder how my powder horn was worth this, but I'm surely grateful.

Very nice - I love the look and flow of the riser.

Really like the looks of that combination.  Nice work!

That is going to be a great looking riser. Now  get to sanding, I can't wait forever to see it with finish.

I really like the idea of all N.American woods.

What limb pad angle do you use?

Thanks all. Beachbowhunter, limb pockets are 7 degrees. I change limb angle a good bit depending on ntn length. I hope to get the limbs glued up this week.  I have some pretty cool walnut veneer picked out.

Maple and walnut marry good as does maple and osage or walnut and osage.

Lookin good!

Lookin good!

Lookin good!

Hey Dan, enjoyed meeting you at Pauls place. I really liked the Recurve you made Paul for St.Judes. Can't wait to see this one. And thanks again for the loan of the Broadheads.

Looks  good.    

I really like the flow in the grip/shelf,   I bet it will feel like an extension of your hand. Cant wait to see the limbs,I'm always inspired by you and Trux.
