Started this last summer, neck surgery got in the way so I just finished it.  First for me: first flared riser with template and first bow I made all by myself without lams from Kenny.  Wenge and Zebra wood, maple, 0.003 total taper, 62", 45@27". Now I get to get whipped on the 3D range by I guy with a bow I made myself!

Man that is really a work of art!! I really like your take downs!! I'm still to intimidated to try one myself. And your finish looks great, I need some lessons! Lol

Wow. Just when I think my bows might be passable, I'm seriously humbled again. Well done.

Very sharp combo, I thought your bows were great last year, they keep getting better!   :thumbsup:

Thanks guys.The finish is Buffalo Hide Satin. I use my tiny Senco Brad Nailer compressor with the small Harbor Freight touch up sprayer. They work but clog alot.

Funny, I've never really liked limb overlays but saw an opportunty to do them on this bow. Now I like them    :D
