i just finished up this bbo. it's 65 1/4 ntn, 40#@28", handle is stacked hickory and osage with hickory overlays on the fades. i stitched on a leather handle wrap. the bow is light weight so i didn't put on any tip overlays. what do you think? don

Looks pretty good ...hows it shoot? :thumbsup:
Well... I don't know a darn thing 'bout building bows but I know it looks like you do!
Fine Job and keep up the good work,
James
nice bow
Very nice!!!!!!!
Would you care to tell us a little more your with respect to your experience with her?
looks good
Looks to be a straight profile unstrung, how much reflex did you start with?
Nice job. Shooter?
She's a real beauty but, how does it shoot? Congrats on a fine job. :thumbsup: :clapper:
thanks everybody. sorry i didn't include the money shot. my wife was not around to take the pics. i'll add full draw pics tomorrow. she( i think it's a she, i haven't named it yet.) shoots very nice, very smooth. i glued it up with about 1 1/2 inches of reflex and after shooting, it settles into a straight profile. so, 1 1/2 inches of set and 0 string follow. i have another that i made several years ago that i love to shoot. that one is 45#@28" and this bow shoots very similar and even likes the same 3R hunters arrows which are spined 40#-45#. cast seems to be just a tad less. any ideas for a name? don
Beautiful bow! I wish I could find the time to make one.
here's the full draw pic. don
