Darn Dymondwood is hard not to like. Heavy, consistent, easy to finish, and can be pretty sharp looking.

Just finished this one.

62", 50# @ 28", Cocobolo Dymondwood riser, elm limbs.

Great looking bow! I like the dymondwood, adds nice weight & absorbs some shock.

Love the accent stripe through the tip overlay.

Hey Glunt, sharp combo right there. Red elm is way under utilized in my opinion, and that goes great with your coco dymandwood riser. Nice work!

Looks great Don, what finish you usin?

And what color D-wood is that, coco?

SportHunter · « **Reply #14 on:** July 13, 2012, 02:22:00 PM »

I keep coming back to look....very attractive bow!

Glunt · « **Reply #15 on:** July 13, 2012, 02:47:00 PM »

Thanks for the nice comments guys. Yep, Cocobolo colored. Finish is super glue to fill up the pores in the moradillo accent stripe & back overlay, 2 light coats of Bullseye shellac on all wood to fill and seal the elm limb edges - lighty steel wooled. Then 2 coats of gloss Helmsman spar and 1 final coat of satin HS.

Went to glue up my elk bow the other night which will have those cool zebra veneers I got from you Kenny. Unfortunately, my brother was cleaning the garage and tossed a box with my glass for it! I'll be in touch.

Don, that reminds me of my bro's efforts to be scent free, kept his huntin clothes in a garbage bag on the back porch.

His wife took em to the curb by mistake!

KellyG · « **Reply #18 on:** July 14, 2012, 10:56:00 AM »

love the tips as well as the rest of the bow.

great looking bow, I'm a fan of the Dymondwood, great looks and adds some mass weight.
