Thanks all. The riser is ebony with chocolate streaks and the limbs are bamboo core with myrtle veneers.
It's 58" 55#@27"

Mike, Let me know when your free and we'll go fling a few.

Hey Mike, You do a good enough job of breaking your own nocks, you certainly don't need my help.

That is one beautiful bow! I'd ALMOST be afraid of taking it hunting for fear of scratching it up in the woods.LOL

A work of art for sure.

Thanks guys for all the kudos. The bow is really a sweeeet shooter. I think alot has to do with the fact that the shelf sits right on top of your hand so it just naturally shoots where yer pointing.
