Post by: swamp yeti on April 17, 2011, 10:55:28 pm

Here is one I just finished up,a reflex deflex,hickory and bullsnake backed osage with a walnut riser and bocote tip overlays.The bow is 64 inches tip to tip.inch and a half at the widest and narrows down to a half inch at the tips and the riser is a inch and a half tall.The bow is 50#@ 26 inches.The bow is finished with 7 coats of tru oil and a old piece of leather for the grip.It is a hard hitter.

Swamp....only thing I would have done is make those tips as thin as I could get away with. You won't believe the difference it makes in cast. That bow is absolutley beautiful. The tiller is perfect.  I'm hoping you made that for me in the bow trade.
 It has my bow of the month vote already.   Danny
