First off I would just like to mention where she got her name from, I really had God's grace when making this bow!

This bow was a lot of firsts for me; first : character bow,bow from spliced billets,snakeskin backing etc...
Unfortunately she developed a fatal crack in one of her character dips. This only showed after about 50 arrows, although she did start making popping noises after a few arrows. She (was) Chinaberry with a blesbuck rawhide backing and molesnake skins. 43# @28''
70 ntn. I definitely learned a ton!

Eastman you could easily slap a thin 10-12" long underlay on that weak area and have a good bow again. Give it a try?

One of my bowmaking mentors did slap on a piece of boo on both the back and belly. He shot it at the range today then it shoots fine, but my draw is 29'' (his is 27'') when I draw it, it starts makin noises again. But i'll see what happens and post a few more pics.
