Got my first bow wrapped up yesterday/today. Grip and shelf/plate are installed. Pics aren't the best, but here they are. Bow is red oak with a white oak and Brazilian walnut riser. Rattlesnake skins on the back. 60" nock to nock and pulls 44# at 27 inches.

Anyway, it ain't perfect...but I'm dang proud of the accomplishment and I'm in love with this bow. Thanks to everyone on the site for all the help and insight you've given me.

Here's the full draw pic....bottom limb is 1 inch shorter than the top. Tiller isn't 100% perfect, but I'm happy.
