Just wrapped this one up after a long, long build. Spent more time thinking than tinkering ;) . Its 67" ntn and draws 50 @ 28.5. The limbs are Osage sister billets and the I-beam riser is purple heart sandwiched between goncola alves. The skins are broad banded water snake. Clint will be along shortly to post pictures for me. I wouldn't use Photosuckit if my life depended on it!
Thanks for looking guys

Very nice, Chris.
-
Cool. Very cool. Bows with class need wear no glass.
-
fantastic bow...
really liked your design..
-
That's F$#*}**¥} sexy as H*#%!!!!!!!!!
-
That is a whole new genre of bows! The self-limb, exotic handle takedown somethingorother! Wow :notworthy:
-
Thanks guys. Its a smooth shooter. A bit heavier mass wise than I'm used to my wood bows weighing, but that's all part of the 3 pc game I suppose. Some day I will make a few more sets of various all wood limbs for it. Maybe even get some glass limbs laid up one day.
-
The tinkering and thinking shows!
That is a leading edge piece of work. I think we will be seeing it emulated in the future.
-
WOW!!! I can see jaws dropping at 3d shoots.
Dave.
-
Really nice
one more year and we will have you useing some glass
:jumper:
-
Wow... great looking bow!!
How long is that riser?
-
Beautiful design. Wow... indeed!
-
Mighty fine looking weapon you have there.

13" from tip to tip. I made it as short as I could. I knew my limbs were going to be long(er) and I tried to keep my O/A length respectable by shortening the riser. The limb beds are 3.0" long
-
Very nice work. Haven't built a takedown in a while but this is inspirational.
Really like that the limbs are self-limbs not laminated.
-
Benny I personally trust a solid osage self limb more than any combo of laminations and glue. That's just my take on it.
-
Beauty....
-
That's a mighty fine 3 piece you made! I really like the the angle of the limbs off of the riser.
-
I was just thinking of trying one like that because I have short chunks of wood ......way to go bro that bow rocks
-
that is as nice a piece of creative thinking I've seen in a long time relating to bow making.I would love to try that some time but doubt I could get same result.
-
Thanks guys! It was a fun build.
-
Wow! That is a looker! :notworthy:
-
That's beautiful I like the wood combinations and those snake skins really add the finishing touch.
-
Worth the trip over just to get another peek at that beauty.
-
Well that just suck. The colour combination is infantile, the design is just sad and the tiller looks pathetic. The string alignment is crooked as a dogs hind leg and the overall look is just very sad. I cant believe you would post a bow like this, let alone send it to someone.
You should definitely take advantage of Razorbacks Bow Disposal Service. In the name of human decency, of course.
-
Good eye Tony! And here I thought nobody would notice that.
-
Wow - what a beeutifull bow that is. Kudos to the maker.
-
All natural, sweet and sexy!
Just the way I like my ladies! :thumbsup:
Great work again, Chris.
You should post this beauty on the Powwow.
-
Extremely nice. I've never done a takedown, how do you attach the limbs to the riser?
-
I attached them exactly the same way with the same hardware the glass guys use. Bingham sells the kit for maybe $16?
I shot it a bunch at a shoot this weekend, it shoots much better than I do.
-
That is very nice.
-
Hope this girl goes hunting!
-
Just awesome! Great design and wood combo. I really need to get out and cut some stave material.
-
I can't find the words. Simply beautiful. My eyes were dancing from one thing to the next. Great job sir!

Wow! All natural. Very cool.
