Finished up a couple of bows I will use for hunting this fall. Tried to make "twins" - one longbow and one recurve. Maple and purple heart riser and overlays. Limb lams are cherry and hickory from Kenny. Several "firsts"on these bows - stabil-kore and bearpaw glass as well as thunderbird finish (satin). Really liked the glass and I think the stabil-kore is worth the 10 bucks as it seems to make for a more stable bow. I also liked the thunderbird as it went on without too much trouble and gave a good durable finish. In hindsight though, I kind of wish I would have ordered the gloss.
