Hey Gang,
I always enjoy it when others post bows they've built, so here's one I just finished up. She's an Osage tri-lam with a Tonkin bamboo backing that came out right about 63#@28". It has a bocote and cocobolo power lam between the two osage lams and cocobolo and bocote handle laminations. I also gave her sheep horn nocks and a sheep horn sight window to try something new. And to finish it off a leather handle wrap. Turned out to be a lovely bow. The pics were kind of hurried as I only had a couple minutes to take them. This one will be donated for the silent auction at the Oktoberfest fundraiser for my home parish. Hopefully the guy that gets it derives much enjoyment from it. Thanks for looking guys. Matt

Nice looking stick you have there.

Thanks for the kind words, that really means a lot to me from you all.
Jim- she's 63" NTN.
I now see I forgot to take an unbraced profile picture. It is gone already, but it has a reflex/deflex profile with the tips even with the handle.

Thanks again guys(and Pinecone)

NICE!<><

Bill- the nocks are kind of a cross between pin nocks and filed in nocks. They still have a groove in the front, but I prefer the extra material on the sides of the tips to be taken off. Just my preference I guess

The bow should be up in the silent auction today. Take care guys, Matt
