Title: Finished my first glass bow!
Post by: Apex Predator on July 19, 2008, 08:00:00 AM

Here she is!  Osage, shedua, and hickory riser.  The limbs have maple core and red cedar on the faces.  Osage and shedua tip overlays.  She is 66" NTN and draws 50@28.  Finish is 7 coats of tru-oil.  She is a really good shooter as well.

Here is the full draw photo I promised.  What do you folks think?  One .002 tapered lam.  The one I'm finishing up now has two .002 tapered lams.  Can't wait to shoot them side by side!
