Just about finished the lightest bow to date, only 28# @ 28''. It was to be white wood riser but the only suitable riser wood came up pale yellow under finish coat.

Riser material is Silver Ash/ PNG Walnut with Gidgee accent strips. Belly lams are natural 'boo

Core is natural' boo and 'coffee' 'boo, and perhaps weidly I still used 4 lams in the build even with the light weight. Makes it easy with stack calculations and think that the extra glue lines might contribute strength, with a possible trade off against more mass.

String is only a workshop tool as I didn't have a new one to hand.

@#$#@$%^& photobucket!

Very nice, Bob. Ya think ya can pull it back at your age?  

Dang I was making it for you Roy!!!but decided against it as I didn't want to give you a hernia.
Nock overlay are white/ black phenolic with Ringed Gidgee, a very hard to come by wood.

Those tips r sweet. Never thought about tapering the end like that.

Nice.      Bue--.

Very nicely crafted Bob.

Nice looking bow Bob. Like those tips

Good looking bow, and those tips look cool.

Very nice.  Roy better start lifting some weights if he's gonna handle that thing.  

Looks great bob  

Great looking bow Bob!! That's some nice wood on the nock overlays.

thanks for the kind comments fellas. Trying to keep tip mass to a minimum especially on the lighter bows. I did jump the gun a little as it really hasn't got much finish on it as yet. Pity it is too heavy for ol' Roy. Think he needs to get a little glass in his life, take away the gl???
