Thanks- I can wait to see it with finish also... The limb pads are at 18 degrees, the riser is 19" long

Hahaha- you got that right Buemaker... I got it all finish sanded and ready for spraying, that will have to wait until next weekend but it did finish 60#@28".. Final spraying or not I'll run some arrows through it this week.
Anybody got a good source for antler ends? I want to make a couple for this bow and don't have any good antlers on hand to make into antler bolts.

Super sweet bow! My friend found these whitetail sheds last year just before hunting season, he only hunted him 3 or 4 times.. he is allowing me access this year. These would be a little wide for your project..

Got it sprayed yesterday- here's a few pics of it done. I'll let the finish cure for a few days and then get some full draw pics...
