Title: A Swap bow
Post by: Crooked Stic on August 13, 2010, 10:14:00 PM
i built this bow for a member swap on another site. It has a three wood riser of bacote-ipe-coco dymondwood and a red and black phenolic accent. Dark brown stained curly maple limbs. 62 in. 53@28. Thought I wuld share some pics.

Very nice Mike!  Haven't been looking around much, but I can't remember if I've seen a one piece of yours before. That one sure is  a dandy!! Mike

I followed Mike to his house one morning when I seen the the crooked stic sticker on his truck. Had a nice little visit and shot some of his bows. They shoot great. Lucky feller that got this bow for sure.
