Both of those look good.

I like them both, but I think the zebra goes best.

Coco all the way

I'm ready to ship, honey locust sapling bow. Builtin arrow rest. Think its about 80@ 24", close nuff!!



And the full draw pic, need to make a low stretch string tho.....



I think my victim will be pleasantly surprised when he gets his bow....

 

[BMorv]

Went aggressive with the deflex....let me know when the plans are available  
  :D

[Roy from Pa]

Let me guess...

Ya got my name in the bow swap, dint ya?

LOL

[Bvas]

You could probably drop a few pounds if ya got a little more bend mid limb.......or any at all.

[jsweka]

I like a bow that will blend in with the deer woods.    

LOL...

bmorv,
Just keep in m8nd that cocobolo darkens over time so eventually it could look like the ipe unless it's Mexican cocobolo but yours doesn't look like mexican. no problem with that just if you like contrast the zebra would be the better choice.

[BMorv]

Thanks for the responses on my riser choice.  I thought the votes would be more one way or the other, but it looks like they are pretty even.  After looking at the pics again, I'm leaning coco with a yellow heart accent.

[Crooked Stic]

Kenny I had a bow like that growing up.  

[kennym]

Starting plan C or D today, I forget which.

[Forwardhandle]

[mwosborn]

Haven't checked out this thread in a while - WOW!  Some very nice bows!  Some serious bow building talent here.

Kenny - how did you get my design?

[Buemaker]

My swap bow is finished also. Made only with an axe.

[Buemaker]

Comes with a string from moose leg sinew.

[kennym]

Mitch, I learned it from Roy, he has spys in your area.....

Bue, now I feel bad, mine has a manmade string material.  Guess I'll start plan E...

[mwosborn]

The bows just keep getting better and better.    :confused:

[Roy from Pa]
