Great looking bow! Can you give us some more info? I'm intersted in what the darker wood is and how does it work stopping the belly lam halfway down the limb. A full draw pic would be great as well. Thanks in adavnce.

That is a work of art...I love the leather work and the arrows.  The wood combo goes together great.
Happy hunting to all!

I've run out of adjectives to describe the bows being submitted this month!  Those woods look fantastic together.  It seems that everything you make is not only functional, but a work of art as well.  You have a gift!  I can't wait to see what you'll create next!

Thanks for all the nice posts but... this ones actually a screw up. Its been sitting on the rack for a few years .  I cut a kerf a bit to shallow on the belly side and while tillering exposed the bubinga . I was going to put a bamboo belly on it after that but said the heck with it and kept shaving until the entire bubinga kerf was exposed. Luckily it still held some decent poundage.

While I was posting this last night I got to thinking. These are man sized arrows 28" and this kids only going to be drawing maybe 24" so I'm whipping out some 25" 35# numba one chinese bamboo arrows.

Jeff, you got it bamboo backed osage/bubinga.   Can't wait to go shoot with him.    Scott

These little 25" boo arrows shoot like darts.
Will get the full draw up as soon as it quits raining.
