i've drawn it to 30" but it's 65# @ 29", probablly only 28" in the FD pic, i did the ol' glued on reflexed tip job on it as well, man the pics are brite and i'm doing them solo but what do ya think, should i wrap the handle or let that birdseye show, Bub
here's a few pics of the tips

That is a purdy one, Bub. I wish I could figure out how you keep you handles from popping off. I don't see a powerlam and no belly lams.

thank's for all the compliment's guy's, lesken if you have a 3/4" board, and your limbs are under that when you start your fades then the grip shouldn't bend, no bend no pop, i also make my fades 2 1/2-3" in length, i think that helps, Bub

i'll try and get some better pics

It didn't look that thick in the handle at first, but now I see. Yep, those fades do look longer than mine usually are....and you blend them so well!

Bub, that is a great looking bow.  I love me some hickory.  I don't think I would cover up that handle;  it looks great.
