I've had a few requests over the past year or so to do a one piece bow with the same forward riser and limb geometry as my TD hybrid. Finally got around to building one. This one is a 58" Ziricote/Zebra riser with Bocote and Osage accents, Bocote belly veneers with carbon back. I'm really happy with the performance and feel. This one just weighs about 1.5# but has absolutely no hand shock, same smooth draw as the TD and is just a tad faster through the chrono. I plan on doing a 2 piece version soon.
Just wanted to post a few pics to get some input. I've got a couple ideas but haven't made up my mind yet what to call it.

Really like the lines in that one.  I have a few questions if you don't mind.

How far back can it safely be drawn?
Is 58" the strung length? Or unstrung?
Will the two piece be bow bolt? Or something else?

How does the grip compare to the smoke?

I'm just getting ready to start your Smoke Jason, if you want to shoot this one before I start just let me know. The grip is very close to the Smoke.
TxAg, this 58" is 54@28 and 56.5-57@29. 29" would be no problem for the 58". String angle is great at 29". I can try to get you a pic tomorrow if you want. I'm going to do the carbon/glass sleeve style TD.
I've got a ways to go before I'm a master bowyer but thanks Charlie.

I like Specter, Homebru. Kind of fits in with the whole ghost thing. Thought about Apparition too.

Gen273

Kent,

you are just humble, I stand by my statement; because you build fine bows.

By the way, if you are looking for votes on the name, I vote for Apparition.

We definitely need more pics of that one! That looks great! I think you should do a pass around, but a few pounds lighter. Lol. What lengths will this be available in?  I'll third "apparition".
Plant a fruit or nut tree today, and have good hunting tomorrow.

You'd have to be blind and dense as a yew fence post to not love that. Kent you have really got it all going on there.

Congratulations on one well designed awesome bow.

God bless, Steve

God I like that bow ! LOL.I would love to have that at 60-62" in a 2 piece.Beautiful work.
Quote from Howard Hill.( Whenever he taught someone to shoot) "Son make up your mind right now if you want to target shoot or hunt as theres a world of differance between the two"

Fattony77

DANG IT, Kent!!! Now I have to add 2nd to my must-have list! (The first is your take-down) That is a great looking bow!!! What lengths is it gonna be available in?
  :notworthy:      :notworthy:  
I also like the name "Specter" (FWIW), but "Apparition" is pretty cool too. As far as I'm concerned, the only name that REALLY matters is "TimberGhost". Cuz I KNOW that means it's a top quality bow.

Great job, man!
