Koa and maple. A longbow
« on: October 19, 2013, 05:34:00 PM »
I think this might be the prettiest one I've ever put together.   Koa and maple reinforced riser.  Koa veneers amber boo impala horns.    60 inch take down & a smooth 45 @ 28.

Awesome! I love seeing all the high end bows produced by all the great folks here. I know the many many hours that are invested and so when I see great work like this I can appreciate all that you poured into it. It sure feels good to look at the finished bow.
