Out of all the bows that have come out of the Legend's shop we still think this longbow ranks as one of the most beautiful. East Indian Rosewood was pretty much the entire palette that was used for this bow. The riser and limbs were all made out of it with the exception of the Maple accents in the riser. We named her "Black Mamba"!

Stunning!. What are the specs?
This bow sold a long time ago so I'm not exactly sure. It's a 64" and I believe the weight was around 40#@28"..?
Good lookin' stick!

Not a three piece can but that is a beauty.
THAT is a pretty bow brutha... :thumbsup:
I built one years ago for a customer in South Africa that he named "Black Mamba" i inlaid a piece of sugar maple into the riser and hand carved a Black Mamba snake head coming out of the riser.
Bubinga riser.... You know something? Black Mambas are not black at all.... But the inside of their mouth is black....
