This is a 64" ntn 52#@28" bow. It is 1/8" postive tiller with 1.5" at the fades and .5" at the nocks. I have been shooting it off the hand. But with the poor job on the handle wrap I will taking that off and putting an arrow rest on and doing another wrap. It has 4 coats of Tru-oil on the finish. It has been fun making. Rather challenging chasing a ring with some of the knots I had to contend with. But all that much more enjoyable to look at and to shoot.

I was going to glue on some tip overlays...but I just liked the way the tips came out.

It has about .5" string follow at this point in it's short life.

That is a remarkably nice piece of wood well placed knots and a great overall appearance. Nice job chasing the ring on the back David! Good looking bow!

Good lookin' bow Snag. Just somethin' about a pretty piece of "Bodark" with a string on it.

Thanks guys. It is a huge deal to me. Been wanting to accomplish this for some time. Just hard finding the time to do it!

That's not just a good job but also a great bow.

PERFECT-O! Very good tiller. Now thats a bow bowing.

Sure wish my fingers hadn't slipped off that string right when the flash went off! That window is going to cost me...

PEARL DRUMS · « **Reply #16 on:** May 22, 2012, 09:18:00 PM »

Dont EVEN think about blamin' me. I just wanted a full draw pic. Nothing was said about blowing out a window. Even though a bow that sweet could do it...........and not get in trouble for it!

mwosborn · « **Reply #17 on:** May 22, 2012, 11:38:00 PM »

Very nice bend! Bet it shoots great too.

snag · « **Reply #18 on:** May 22, 2012, 11:41:00 PM »

I love shooting it. It was very hard to come to full draw and NOT let 'er fly....
