[soy]

Sorry to bore yall with so many pics of one bow but i could not find just one that would tell the tale...so it is 66"ntn 50#@27" black walnut from gundoc linen backed with a couple sapwood rings, coverd with a pair of wdb i got from cippy, antler tips ....very easy on the eyes,and a pleasure to shoot. Hope you all enjoy.also as always criticism welcomed as i am still trying to learn

Uhmm, I messed up and gave you the wrong stave.  I'm gonna need that back   Thad my friend, you nailed it dude.  Absolutely stunning in every way.  That is as classy as it gets and I already know how well it shoots.   The tiller is perfect and the finish is exquisite!  Well done,  well done indeed!  Josh

Thanks guys
Simson...it is a little large but it is for a new to the style shooter the arrow lets go clean and it fits the hand right in the border, could have done with a little less frount to back though ....just trying to get em hooked thank you for the feed back I appreciate it!

I forget to mention it is my second south paw...dose it ever get easier to do things on the opposite side of what you arewould used to???

All these amazing sapwood backed bows about at the minute when the use of the particular sapwoods is frowned upon.
Great stuff.
Fine bow.
