[D. Key]

A very cool post Mike.         Always freaks me out a bit when they saw it in half.

[Cyclic-Rivers]

 Looking forward to More Mike.

[Java Man]

I sent a few more to Mike this morning.  The bow will get its first coat of finish by lunch time today.    

Thanks for all the nice comments.  Hope y'all had a nice Christmas.

Always amazes me what can be done with a chunk of wood in the hands of a craftsman    

[Yellow Dog]

Shaping the grip.

[Yellow Dog]

Working on the tips.

Sealing the grain of the Cocobolo with super glue prior to the first coat of finish.

[Yellow Dog]

I really like the honey colored stain we picked for the Bamboo limbs.

[Yellow Dog]

Black Beaver Tail is going to look real nice on this one

Talked to Gregg about trying to hit right around 50@30 to 51@30. Final weight, marked 51@30 and it's 50.7@30 on Gregg's digital scale.....Perfect! Gregg is truly a gifted artist.
   

[kennym]

YEAH! 46@ 28 is just right for me!! Ooh, you said 51 @ 30....  Dang it!  

[AR RidgeRunner]

Wow, that's gonna be a beauty Mike! Really like the grain in that coco. Just curious, is that phenolic through the center for the bow bolt? It almost looked like some type of wood in the earlier pics but with the super glue it looks black. The contrast should really pop when it has finish on it. Been thinking about trying a bow bolt on some of my bows so just curious.

[Cyclic-Rivers]

Shaping up nicely Mike!

[Homebru]

I've seen that bow, somewhere?
