Almost finished this one for a friend in Winter Haven. Riser is Zircote with Bocote and Paduck accents, with deer antler on the face. Limbs are Red Elm core with Ipe veneers and antler tips. Just finished tillering, target weight is 48 - 52 lbs. I'll find out how close I came tomorrow. Tony

I'll post some full draw pics in a few days

Sounds like a nice bow, but I can't see your pics. Did you move them to another album in photobucket?

Tony - I'm glad you fixed the pics because that bow is AWESOME!!!! If your friend in Florida doesn't like it, tell him to send it north to Pennsylvania - I'll even pay shipping.

The veneers in the limbs are made from Ipe laminate flooring. Tony

Beautiful bow, Tony. Well done.

Well I'm having to glue up another set of limbs for this bow, I couldn't get them to tiller correctly. My concern is, I don't know what caused it. Everything I checked was good, limb pads were square, with limbs bolted to the riser the tips lined up perfect with limb bolts, index pins and sight window. Happy New Year. Tony

That is one great looking bow ! Hopefully your new limbs will workout and you will figure out the culprit on the others.

Dang nice looking bow. Shame you couldn't get the limbs to work. Maybe they will on the next riser.
