Well thats 2 this week and many more to go this one snapped after all the test shots were done I was ready for final finish. All i had to do was check the draw weight again and pop!

Life at full draw can be fun

Maple and Purple heart it was a beauty and shot like a dream. OOOOHHHH WWWWHHHYYYYY

I have had purpleheart that did the same and purple heart that didn't. If you get the purple heart too heavy it will not handle compression . Now Osage or Yew . Thats the ticket.

God bless and keep right on building, Steve

It hurts to loose one a that stage.

Sorry about your loss there Stone. I'll throw this out there though, if you let your purpleheart oxidize? (if that's the right term for letting it just dry out after cutting or shaping or sanding) like let's say for about a week, it will get more purple. Like this stuff:

Good luck on the next one!

Ouch...at least it was the bottom limb.

The longer the purple heart ages even with finish it will turn to a bright purple we use alot of it in inlays on rifle stocks. Thanks for all the kind words
