Title: First R/D bow for 2008
Post by: V-Archer on January 20, 2008, 04:54:00 PM
Last week I finished the first R/D bow I built this year. It has osage limbs under clear glass. The riser is made of osage and purple heart split by a mosaic stripe. An overlay of black glass, osage and purple heart finishes it off.
It has a pull of 35# @28" and is 62" long (ntn).

These arrows go with this bow.

I've really like the purple heart since my ChekMate Falcon I got last year.  Only thing is the detail of the photos doesn't show off your great mosaic work.  NICE!

Here is a picture I took to get a somewhat better view of the mosaic stripe.

That is another beauty Arnold   :thumbsup:   You just keep tempting me, one of these days. We are going to make it happen. I'm thinking 62" 50@ 28" Osage & Cocobolo probably a little ebony flair. Left handed naturally OK OK I gotta quit  (http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l101/GUNSMITHAMMO/Smileys/thworalevm2.gif)   
            

            Nice work!!

That's a beautiful bow.  I really love purple heart.  I think it's a nice choice of contrasting woods.
