Well I got things together. It hasn't gone boom yet! Still have to put the finishing touches on it. It came in at 60" 58 @ 28 a little more than I wanted. I mis-figured the stack size with the cedar. Not very knotty wood,didn't want to chance a snap, it still might though. The riser is a bit bigger in the grip than I wanted , doesn't seem to to be flexing at all.

These are the pictures on flickr

Looking good. Looks dark for ERC. Is it really well seasoned or is it just the finish you used? I love the look.

Ben, Was looking at the bow you're finishing up, pretty nice. Nice work on that riser. The erc I used was pretty well seasoned. You would be amazed at how much epoxy it absorbed. It did darken a bit, however it did stiffen it up alot. I could feel a little flex in the grip before I coated it but now it feels stable. We'll see if it stays together.

I like the looks of that - well done.

Beanbag - since your pics are already on Flickr, it is just a matter of copying the bbcode and pasting it in your post and the pics would show up in your posts.  Just passing on the info.
Enjoy the hunt!  - Mitch
