Sturgeon'd Vinemaple Bow

Made this one about a month ago, thought I'd share it with you guys.
A friend of mine came to me I retested in bow hunting. He was unimpressed with the bows that had training wheels so I made this one for him. It's a little over built, but that okay for a virgin bow hunter. There was same water damage in one of the limbs a crook in the other and all kinds of swoops and swirled in the wood. But I looked at the stick sitting in the brush pile and I saw a bow and it had to be made.
Anyways....
64" NTN
52#@26" tillered to 28"
Walnut nocks.
Thanks for lookin

The handle was covered in mud when I was talking the pics. Tried to get it cleaned up for the photo shoot

Like the character in that bow Bryce, good work. Also kudos to you for gettin' your buddy hooked up with a proper
bow to chase elk with, hope you both have success chasing the critters around.

Nice bow Bryce as usual. Nice work converting another to the primitive path
.
P.S. I have a stave of Mt. Maple to try soon intrigued how it stacks up.... Does Vine Maple dry ridiculously fast like the Mt. Maple?
