Well done Marty. Excellent woods here. You're right about the horn tip overlays also. Lucky owner.

Great looking bow Marty! Can't wait to see it with the finish on that wood.

I got the riser shaped, and sanded her with 80 grit.  I then took her out back and flung a few.  She is one sweet shooter!  Next up is finish sanding and some grain filling coats of finish.  Here is the riser.

I'm currently on the final stages here folks.  I'm in the middle of spraying now.  Here is a preview of things to come.

Very good batman!  I was just thinking that he does some of the nicest tips I've seen.  Very neatly contoured and proportioned.  It shows great attention to detail and quality of work.  It is the "little things" that separate the best bowyers from the would be's and the also ran's.  I truly love to look at those Apex Predator bows!

Very nice!!!!!
