Glad to see you back in it Manny. Looks like you haven't lost any talent. She's a beauty. Looking forward to seeing full draw.

Dito!

Thanks all  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D


Hemp wrapped handle.






I like the texture the hemp has after it's been soaked with watered down Titebond III




The wood looks rich and deep














Overlays look great






Skins also look great










Here is looking down the lower than upper limb, this will help make more sense of the braced and full draw pictures

Damn, that wood looks delicious. I want some guayaba now. I think an old family friend had a guava tree in his house...

Beautiful bow. Love me a good pyramid.

Sweet! Can't wait to see it bend! Your finish work is top notch!
