David you need to quit let unimportant things like work and the like keep you from getting this done.  I hate this waiting!
Haha you're right- I did get the limbs tapered and have nock overlays glued on, with any luck I'll get a string on it today or tomorrow... Then some updated photos if all goes well.

Today would be much better.  Haven't you heard the old saying "never put off what you can do today until tomorrow."

So today it is- I cut the nocks but still need to shape them. A quick weight check has the bow at 55#@28" which is a good start. Limbs seem to be stable at the width I got them.

How many inches of draw on this picture David?

Those tips are for sure static! Looks good

I got the riser sanded some as well as the rest of the bow... Plus I got to shoot it. It's pretty quick and very quiet- kind of longbow quiet and is easy to shoot.

The best made plan won't get it made the way you planned.

Thanks guys! Its a pretty cool bow to shoot and came out with an amo length of 56"s- and should be 53@28 once everything is done. Just have some sanding to do before I spray it.

Maybe I missed what woods are in riser, I think it will be killer when you spray it.

Nice bow!!
Stay sharp, Kenny.

Kenny- thanks- the riser is bubinga with a blood wood flare and it will look better once I hit it with some finish.

Looks like a real shooter. A bow like that really get my creative juices flowing. Can't wait to see it all finished up.

I really like the shaping on your riser. Very elegant and sculpted.
