This deflexed, propeller twisted stave gave me a real good bow, at 58" with good weigth, ........grip is hemp, overlays Guava, cotton backing to get rid of the lite colored sapwood, the handle is build up first with sawdust and superglue, than leather, the tips are flipped with dry heat,...the bow I don't think took any set

You gave that stave a nice bow brah, not the other way 'round.

Real fine.

I'm of the opinion a twisted bow can store more energy than straight. A real advantage, as long as it can be crafted to not rotate on the loose.

Thanks for posting another fine bow Manny.

WOW, that is a really nice bow!! I would LOVE to make one that is that high of a draw weight and to have the curves like you do them, just amazing bow all around!

That's a beautiful ugly bow! I think you should send it to me immediately, because I'm the only person who can put up with the ridicule of everyone laughing at me for shooting such an ugly horse of a bow! I'll give you my address. Be sure to send it express mail so it will arrive as fast as possible. The sooner it's out of your hands, the better!

Love it.

Don't do it Manny. Billy is much to tall for such a short bow. Send it to me so I can save him the embarrassment of looking like a gorilla with a shorty like that!

Great looking bow. About the same profile and exact length of my favorite shooter. Congratulations.
