Guava from Manny (not BOM worthy)
« on: June 21, 2011, 02:33:29 pm »
Just wanted to show what became of some guava I got from Manny in 07.  Was waiting for the perfect time to work on it but seems I went too fast again and ended up with a hinge and a splinter...thus the wrapping!!

 It came in under weight ( as usual for me) at 43# at 27"  it's 66" ntn  Tip overlays are snakewood I got on a trade here.

 It is fun to shoot the lighter poundage but still would have like 47+.  The more I shoot it the better I feel that it has not broke yet!!

 Told my wife I should put on shorts and take off my shirt for a "Manny shot" but nobody would really want to see me do that!!! ;D

That looks pretty darn good to me! that stave has allot of character and looks like it has some humps and bumps that would make tillering challenging but I think you handled it pretty darn good IMO ;D Overlays look real nice too!

As far as the manny shot tempting but ;D :D
