heres my first r/d bow. it's a bbh, 66 ntn, limbs are 1 1/4 inches wide for almost the full length and then taper the last 6 inches to 1/2 inch tips. the handle is 1 inch wide and 2 inches deep with a small shelf cut in. it's 49#@28". i sprayed it with black lacquer except for the osage tips. i sewed on a light colored leather handle for contrast. i'm really happy with it. no handshock whatsoever and quiet without string silencers. i named it blackjack.

I love the color coordination all the way down to your sweats.  You need a black dew rag though  :)   Nice looking bow.  I love black bows.

Nice bow, Don.  I like the curves of that R/D style.

I love it Don, and I really like the shape. That's what my bows will be leaning towards from here on out now that my caul is done.

Nice Job!   :thumbsup:

thanks everybody. semo, my caul was just a 2x4 with two 2 inch pieces of pvc attached and a few u-bolts. i had to try something that was within my budget. which is very little. don

You and me both Don. I got my 2x8x8' boards at Lowes for less than $5 bucks each. Everything else I already had in my garage to the entire project cost me $15 bucks. It works great.
