Glass and carbon bow
« on: March 15, 2012, 04:31:07 pm »
I have been busy building forms and bows all winter. I have some boo backed and osage selfbows in the works but here is my latest.
Carbon backed, 52#@28" osage, ipe, and cherry riser. Im very happy with the performance of this design. Thanks for looking. I know I have not posted in a while but I have enjoyed looking at all the great work you guys put out. Thanks!    Jesse Smith

Wow!  Man that is a sexy bow (worked as a yacht builder, family business, and love carbon)  The really cool part about that bow is that it is my perfect weight @ draw  >:D  8)
