Great work. More a piece of art than a bow ;)

  Simpson, I think the mass is perfect for that long draw. The tiller at full draw also looks about perfect. Is the bow only 61" long?

Amazing amount of effort into detail in all aspects on your bow.Going the extra in looks/construction and draw.It would take me out of my norm shooting to draw that far.I'm afraid my accuracy would suffer until practice could readjust.For killing power in my situations I find its not neccessary myself.Goes to show I guess too though exactly what osage will do though.Thanks for showing.

Beautiful looking bow.  The handle/fades looks amazing.  What did you use for the finish?

Steve, I measured again, following the curves on the back and tape laid down - it is exact 61" and a quarter of an inch. Is the deflexed design a factor in mass theory? Thanks for your input!

Clint, it is just my usual homemade mixture of hardening oil


Thanks for your comments, guys!

That is a worthy no. 100! Amazing finishing! Love the combination of the soup and the fuming. Bet it is the smoothest draw ever!

Absolutely stunning, congrats on the milestone..... if i may ask a question, i have a finished bow with overlays glued on with CA, will the fuming react with the glue resulting in failure?

It seems to me that I had the tips come off while fuming. I'm not a 100% sure though so wait for more responses. I think I just let them dry thoroughly and glued them back on. Boy I'm sounding old ;D ;D

It is a mixture from beeswax, caraubawax and some other ingredients thinned with true balsam terpentine oil.
Next time when mixing my next stockpile I will do a how-to.
After fuming and dmping out some days all glues can be used.

Fuming and ca glue and pva glue is a no go, only epoxi resist!
After the fuming and after damping out for some days all glues can be used.
