I built the risers (got a mate) with the opposite wood for an I-beam , so when I cut the site window it changes to the other wood, then back ,above it. Then built the limbs outta scraps.

Thats why different woods back/belly.

Needed a bow to take to shoots and to hunt with that wasn't an ugly ducklin!

Havent tested it yet but seems to send the 550 grn surewoods plenty well.

Ron, I'm testing a TD design, may have nailed it first time out!! LOL

Great looking bow Kenny.  Now since you have built both three piece and one piece which do you prefer building?

This winter I'm going to give it a go.  

Hope you break it in with a good one this fall!

Well Done!  Love that wood combo in the handle...looks like furniture or maybe the woodgrain off an old surfers car.

Thanks again guys, it means a bunch from you bow coniss  ,, conniseu ,, aw you know what I mean!! LOL

RC, I tillered this one 1/8" pos because I can't make 3under quiet no matter what.  I have changed anchor to similar to a pic I saw of Paul Schafer, index up on cheekbone, folded thumb on earlobe. Strange, but seems to work for"me" , same view as 3 under with less noise.

T, you'll get to shoot her this fall buddy!
