Great work!! How was that wenge to work with? It looks really nice! How do you like the way the Binghams hybrid shoots?

Goodness, that is one beautiful bow. Mine looks like a stick.

The Wenge wasn't bad to work with at all. And the Bingham 62" shoots great, it's pretty quiet and shock free. I would definitely suggest it!

Elegant is the word that came to mind...

And a fine job you did with it to.I like that grip. How was the wenge to get filled?

mesquite · « **Reply #30 on:** November 29, 2012, 04:33:00 PM »

Just 2 heavy coats of Buffalo Hide brushed on, then sanded smooth with 220 grit. Then I sprayed on another 3 coats.

Gorgeous bow, I think black walnut is my favorite wood. how did it come out as far as phisical weight Nice job, congrats

Haven't weighed it, but feels great. The Wenge gives good balance to the bow.

I tell you what, after making this bow, I now understand why professional bowyers charge a premium for their work!

Broke her in! Pig down!

Sweet bow....I really like that combo and nothing better than a Pig to break it in on.
