Hickory Backed Jatoba R/D

[Badger]

  That Jatoba will chrysal at the slightest hint of a hinge, I would check that top limb near the fades very carefully for chrysals. I have never seen jatoba that light in color? maybe the light colored stuff is less chrysal prone.

Yep, them exotic woods can be temperamental.  Just keep an eye on her.  She's beautiful though, nonetheless!

That is a beauty! Your finish work is top notch!  Josh

Thanks everyone! I checked the tiller on the top limb, and watched it being shot about 100 times. No chrysals so far and I still think the tiller looks pretty good. I've made six bows from this jatoba and haven't had a problem yet. I guess we'll see.

Beautiful bow,finish work is exceptional. May be the angle but I tend to agree with the above on top limb.Good luck,hope it work out.

And then a picture just because I thought it was funny. My latest tips compared to my first attempt at overlays.    Go ahead and laugh, I know I am.   

I won't laugh. If I am slogging thru the woods after a deer that I just shot and drop one of those tips on a rock which one will break?
I like the looks of the narrow tips but I like to hunt with my bows. My next bow will be a target bow....going to try for 1/4 in

Thanks guys! Hmmm, twisted that is a good point, I'll keep that in mind on my next hunting bow. 

I bet it's fast. The tips are awsome. Love to see what point on distance is w a 10 grain per pound arrow. 50 yards? Some guy is going to be happy

It's definitely the fastest bow I've made to date. I can tell the difference just by the sound as the arrow flies and the penetration is about two inches more then my only comparable bow.

Great job on a very nice bow.
