I was thinking herters or groves something else if you look at the back which of course is the front below the grip the wood is very wide like 3 " and froms a oval that comes to sharp point
total length of this oval is about 6"

Pics...pics...pics...

So far your description can include a lot of bows.  While reading it I am picturing a Lord Mercury or a Lord Soveriegn.

At leaset the description you have posted does not leave out the possibility of thosetw, except the lable "Custom bow"

No way we can identify with out pictures; unless you suddenly discover a brand and model name.
