Boo backed Lemon Wood R/D finished.
« on: March 19, 2018, 10:32:25 am »
Well fellows this was a fun build. 64 inches n2n, one inch wide parallel to mid limb tapering to 1/2 inch tips  #46 @26. It took a little set, some of the reflex I pulled out tillering. She's a smooth shooter, easy draw real snappy. Over all I'm very happy with my first R/D bow. Next time I need to trim those tip overlays down a lil more.  Now to get some more Lemon Wood.

Good tiller John! I bet it's smooth as butter to draw.
I like it a lot!

Thanks guys, I recognized your mug from another post you made. Knew you were on here some were.
 Join the swap the more the merrier.
Badger did you check out the post I made on mass you ask me about? This bow weighed 18.4 oz before the finish and handle wrap.
