nice looking bow. What kind of maple is that? It doesn't look, from the pics, like any I am familiar with.

That's so cool what you did with the riser. I love maple as a bow wood. Great job.

Excellent shooter. I'm sure it shoots wonderfully; she must be well behaved since it's a good and proven design you used. The handle gives a very nice touch to it.
(Still waiting for the full draw pic ;))

Maple? Hm...if you didn't tell me what wood it was, I would swear it was Hickory! In fact, I still think it is hickory. That pic showing the handle is really clear. But what do I know: it could just as well be some species of maple I've not worked with.

Darksoul, it's maple there's no figure or anything and it got a little darker than usuall after tru oil, but the accents in the handle are the only hickory I had in the shop when I built it

thank's prostaff
thank's rich, sometimes simple is better eh, just not as sexy looking
