Title: First bow
Post by: veyonyx on April 28, 2017, 11:06:00 PM

Hey guys! Here it is, my first complete bow. 69.5" nock to nock 49#@31" (my draw) Bamboo, white ash, and bacote with purple heart and tagua nut tip overlays. Somehow my tiller was slightly thrown off after rasping the handle.

It looks good, at first I thought the fades were slightly abrupt, but if its pulling that kind of weight and draw I guess its good to go.

Nice...  Do you have a pic at brace??  Buemaker is right... Git all that chit out of the background... Maybe hang it on the door if you don't have any empty wall space...  Good job...

Doesn't look bad, however the edges of the limbs should be rounded over a tad more, belly and back.
