Just finished a new bow
« on: January 04, 2012, 09:32:00 PM »
Hi guys - I thought I'd share a few pictures of a bow I just completed.  It's zebrawood with a purple heart accent and curly maple limbs.  It came in at 50# and is 58" long.  It came in a little heavier than expected so I have some more wood on the way for a lighter one for my wife.  :)

That is a good looking bow. That Purple Heart is a perfect touch. By the way has anyone ever had problems with Purple Heart dulling tools?

Great looking bow, I like the lines.

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Thanks everyone for the kind words.  I just got back from shooting it some more at the range, I'm really liking it.  

Rmorris - I did a full riser for a longbow in purple heart a few years ago and found it kind of difficult to work with. I don't think I'll do another riser in it but had no issues for the accents.

Kind of suspicious that it came in at the perfect weight for me, huh.  Here's the full draw picture and a couple others.
