This is a 64" ntn 52#@28" bow. It is 1/8" postive tiller with 1.5" at the fades and .5" at the nocks. I have been shooting it off the hand. But with the poor job on the handle wrap I will taking that off and putting an arrow rest on and doing another wrap. It has 4 coats of Tru-oil on the finish. It has been fun making. Rather challenging chasing a ring with some of the knots I had to contend with. But all that much more enjoyable to look at and to shoot.

I was going to glue on some tip overlays...but I just liked the way the tips came out.

It has about .5" string follow at this point in it's short life.

I always say, "It aint a bow til its bowed!"
He knows the rules :deadhorse:
That is a remarkably nice piece of wood well placed knots and a great overall appearance. Nice job chasing the ring on the back David! Good looking bow!
Good lookin' bow Snag. Just somethin' about a pretty piece of "Bodark" with a string on it.
Sure glad you're here to keep guys like me in line Pearl.... :D
Thanks guys. It is a huge deal to me. Been wanting to accomplish this for some time. Just hard finding the time to do it!

Here ya go........don't recognize the old guy with my bow though!
That's not just a good job but also a great bow.
PERFECT-O! Very good tiller. Now thats a bow bowing.
Sure wish my fingers hadn't slipped off that string right when the flash went off! That window is going to cost me...
Dont EVEN think about blamin' me. I just wanted a full draw pic. Nothing was said about blowing out a window. Even though a bow that sweet could do it...........and not get in trouble for it!
Very nice bend! Bet it shoots great too.
I love shooting it. It was very hard to come to full draw and NOT let 'er fly.... :archer2:
David, Great looking bow...you done good!.
Thanks Walt. Thanks for the help too.
Nice looking bow. You give me hope, I have one sitting in the corner until I figure my next step.
