Meet "Little Wonder". Hickory backed BooFloo (carbonized and vert, grain).
She was formerly maple bellied, but crysalled befor final tillering, so I shaved it off.
65.5" ntn, 1.5" at the fades and straight tapered to 1/2" nocks.
1.5-2" deflex (ya, I know, but I didn't know what I was doin'. ???) and started out with 3.5" reflex.
She shows 1.5" string follow after unstringing, but gains it all back after resting a couple of hours.
Ya, she's lightweight, I was shooting for 45 lbs. she came in about 30 lbs. at 28", but she's fun to play with!
She has 18" power lam of Jatoba, and the riser is built up with maple, natural Boo and the outer lam is "Cumarru", not sure but I think it's Brazillian Teak. :
Tillering was most nerve-racking for me, but I took my time and and made a lightweght shooter out of a bow which was supposed to end up as kindling!.
Finish is Feiblings leather dye with 7 coats of Tung Oil. I really liked this combo, as it was easy to apply and really makes the wood glow! l I think she looks good anyways!
Any and all comments are welcome. I can take good or bad...(I might learn something.)
