I got a package in the mail!! I opened it up and this beauty was inside. Tradbower made this for me. 52# at 28". Seems to be bamboo trilam . I guess that's Ipe in the middle? I don't know but it sure is pretty. Thanks so much!  :clapper:

Nice Bow, Todd and Tradbower...

I had the swap bow pulled to 26" today, still looking very sweet and timed to perfection! Need to get to 28", but will prolly take it to 29" for insurance..

Todd the middle lam is Brazilin Cherry , also  called  Jabota and the belly is Osage. I had it pulled to 29" on tree but I have the short draw syndrome at 24 1/4" I had a friend help me shoot it in and he draws 27" so take your time shooting it at that 29" draw length.

hasn't rained here for ages and trying to get some finish coats on my swap bow, and I get  90* humidity  all week. No rain to speak of, just sky high humidity. Grrrrr.    :knothead:
