Great work!! How was that wenge to work with?  It looks really nice!  How do you like the way the Binghams hybrid shoots?

Goodness, that is one beautiful bow.  Mine looks like a stick.

The Wenge wasn't bad to work with at all.  And the Bingham 62" shoots great, it's pretty quiet and shock free.  I would definitely suggest it!

Haven't weighed it, but feels great.  The Wenge gives good balance to the bow.

I tell you what, after making this bow, I now understand why professional bowyers charge a premium for their work!
