Sneak peak.
Next photo will be of an actual bow.

Hickory back, cocobolo riser, hickory core (heartwood), Ipe belly, cherry handle block.

Shooting for 125# @ 42" give or take
 

[iohkus]

...........and this bow is for ..........Goliath?    :confused:

[LittleBen]

Haha I'm just making sure my victim doesn't catch on. It's going to be a lot more manageable than 125# ...

[LittleBen]

Some shots of the nearly finished bow. Needs more shooting and perhaps fine tuning ... Maybe some string grooves. 64" ntn, I fear its gong to be a tad under weight after full shoot in, but we will see.

 
 
 
1/4" positive tiller.
Full draw soon.

[LittleBen]

Hahaha Wayne I was waiting to see who had the first comment about the shoe. Only realized after I uploaded lol.

Thanks for the kind words Dave and wayne

[Crittergetter]

[fujimo]
