Thats a beauty Dave, nice profiles, tiller and finish. Even at 68" I could pick that one out of a lineup as one of yours.

That's a sweet looking bend and profile for sure!  I love it when you get that one bow that just doesn't gel right done!  31" is a solid draw, is the handle bendy at all?

Thanks everyone!

Peacebow the handle doesn't bend at all. I've only made one bendy handle and now leave em to the experts.

Chef I put about 4 inches 9 reflex and it keeps three inches. Glad I made it so long. Good luck with your build.

Chicken hawk I don't have any arrows that long around here but if I find one I'll post it for you.  :-*

Greg I'm not sure that's a good thing. ???

Awesome work Dave.  That's a bow that the whole basketball team can take to full draw!

Nice looking bow, Dave!  I especially like how the snake skin and the sapwood matched up.  I'm with you, I made a sapwood bow recently and found that I also had to heat the hell out of it, to get it to bend how I wanted it to.
