I am very pleased with the glass. I bought it from Rosewood. He told me it is graded several times for clarity. The dark M.Ebony is clear as a bell under it.

Holy Crap Mike that thing is nuts.  You make some of the best curves I've ever seen.  Wonderful work.

That is amazingly beautiful  :thumbsup:  

I can only hope someday to make something as nice, great wood choices, I like that combo, it makes for a great contrast.

The riser is too cool, and your carving on it puts it over the top.

Way to go.  :clapper:

BrushWolf, that is one BEAUTIFUL looking bow! The wedges add a whole other dimension to the riser, and make it even more "purty". Great work!   :notworthy:    :clapper:

I don't know about the full time thing. At least now I can get started on a bow for the swap.

If that puppy shoots as good as it looks, then I'd have to say you hit a homerun with it.

I'll take one just like it at 45-50 #. That thing is beautiful and would cost you 1200 if you ordered one.  Wow.

Mike, I'm curious.  How do you set up to drill holes for the TD bolt and pin?  I've made a couple T/D recurves but have always had trouble getting things to line up right.  Mind if I see how you do it?
