Thanks to everybody
Mike at rosewood (wenge and phenolic)

I took 9 degrees less hook off the tips for better string angle at mid draw

I did not think the spalted maple looked as good as it did before glueup
It got darker

157 fps with 313 grain arrow seems real smooth without string silencer

Awesome!  Super cool stuff, that riser is beautiful.  Any chance for a shot at draw?  Those tips came out great, very unique bow, and a solid performer I'd imagine!
