Very nice looking bow.  I like the layering of colors in the handle.  Justin

This one and the recurve are both beautiful bows.  I really like the contrast between the wood colors.  Saw Filer

Looks like it will really fling an arra.  Beautiful detail work on the riser and overlays.  Nice Job.

The bow started out with just a core lam of osage  5/16 tapered to 3/16. It came out to light when I got done tillering it so I kept going till I go to 30#and then added an 1/8" belly lam to it.
