First shots on this one. 62" R/D. 60#@28". Its only just roughed out at this point, but I'll post pictures when I clean it up. It'sa solid purple heart riser with maple limbs on black glass. This one was sort of an experiment to see if I could build one with just two lams in the stack. So far so good.

Well here's the rough shaping. This is my second bow like this, so I'm still feeling my way through how I want to shape the riser.
